San Cristobal, Dominican Republic.- Lawyers for depositors of the failed Banco Universal today called on the district Sentencing Judge to reject the quest for house arrest by the bank’s ex president Leonel Almonte, because the paroles issued to 70 year olds isn’t automatic.

 The lawyers Pompilio Ulloa, Ricardo Diaz and Angel Montero said the ex banker petitioned the court order for house arrest, but asked the request be refused because only inmates under special conditions qualify for the leniency. "There are thousands of inmates in Dominican prisons in the same conditions Almonte presented.”

They argued that the code only benefits the inmates who suffer from terminal illness, dementia, pregnant or nursing, and drugs or alcohol addicts.

Almonte was the first major fraudulent bank collapse and which cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.

Bankers all over the World are facing criminal prosecutions. Barclays UK has just landed a 290 million pound fine.
Banks are caught up in global web of deceit and many bankers surely deserve long prison terms along with others in the financial community.

He's rich and probably still living like a king in prison. All that will change at home is that he will have more visitors.

En 1998 el Banco Universal reportó falta de liquidez, lo que trajo como consecuencia que ahorrantes se querellaran por estafa.

And who was President in 1998?

Put him under house arrest in a squatters shack in a slum alongside the Ozma Sewer, surrounded by some of his victims who were also forced to live there by his actions.
