Santo Domingo.- Justice minister Francisco Domínguez Brito on Thursday announced an appeal to the judge's ruling allowing house arrest for the inmate Luis Alvarez Renta, convicted of fraud in the 2003 collapse of the Baninter bank.

"We will promote the repeal of this measure," said the official through his Twitter account.

He said the San Cristobal Sentencing judge’ ruling granting the house arrest request ??by the bank fraud convict encourages impunity, "which we can not allow.”

Alvarez Renta, an economist, was sent to San Cristobal’s Najayo prison for his role in the Baninter fraud, which cost Dominican taxpayers US$2.5 billion.

Just goes to show. If you're going to steal, steal big , or with a pen. If this azzhole had robbed a tourist in la ZC of their camera. He would be in La Victoria.

SO, the message is, that if you rob millions it is okay, you get to stay home, but the boy who grabbed my purse is in jail for 1-2 years? Does not sound right to me.

"which cost Dominican taxpayers US$2.5 billion."

Why does he still have a house to live in after so many lost their home at this man's hands (pen).

So lets see a photo of his house... I'll bet a million buck it's not worth less than a million bucks...

He's been seen time and again in fancy restaurants on the Malecon.m

He's only trying to legitimize an existing state of facts.

Josie,

You do realize that the fall of Baninter and the fraud in the attempt to cover it up happened....(GASP) under the nose of the Mejia administration.

Did I say "Under the nose"? I meant in a conspiracy with the PRD, Mejia government

So Aplha66, ASS-uming your rectally produced statement is correct, does this justify this Criminal Bastard getting a Get Of Jail Free Card form Lie-onel’s made to order court “system?”

The banksters are above the government so how can the laws effect them. They should send all heads of banks to jail for all the criminal deeds they have done house arrest is a joke. It is in your face type of injustice.
