00:00Meanwhile, Dariel Castro Santos, the alleged romantic partner of Geraldine Torres Betancourt,
00:06identifies as the head and administrator of the transnational criminal organization
00:10and accuses him with Felix Joel Rodriguez, a.k.a. Joey,
00:14who supposedly is also a member of the network that sexually marketed the victims,
00:18withholding the payment and passports to prevent them from escaping.
00:22He says it has nothing to do with that, that his function is simply the cup.
00:27They are all family members of Geraldine.
00:31And friends, we have proof that we are going to give it to the press later,
00:35that they are all videos, freely doing their shopping.
00:40The Public Prosecutor's Office requested that the woman and the three accused men
00:44be imposed preventive prison as a measure of coercion and that the case be declared complex.
00:49The hearing was scheduled for next Friday, February 28.
00:53With this information, I return to you. Good afternoon.
00:57Good afternoon, Paula Baez. Thank you for your report.
01:00And about the permanent attention judge of the province of Santo Domingo,
01:05he postponed for next Wednesday the knowledge of the request for a measure of coercion
01:09to those involved in the falsification of cigars and ronis,
01:13arrested after an operation carried out by the authorities.
01:16The lawyers of the accused explained that the view was postponed
01:20to regularize the cases filed against their clients.
01:25To provide documentation and invite the Ministry of Health
01:29to prepare for the defense.
01:32He is accused of supposedly having a clandestine laboratory,
01:37but where the raid has been carried out, it is a factory,
01:40certified by industry and pro-industry,
01:45all taxes are paid,
01:47the smuggling is covered and the customs are not charged.
01:52Representatives of the accused stated that their defendants paid 16 million pesos
01:59to renew the manufacturing license that was in force,
02:03but that the General Directorate of Internal Taxes did not give them an answer
02:07nor returned the money.
02:10The director of the municipal hospital of Enizado Domingo, Tavares Álvarez,
02:14denounced that his signature was falsified to declare Haitian children
02:19in the office of that municipality.
02:21Meanwhile, the people accused by the Public Ministry
02:24of being part of this network of falsification,
02:27protested in front of the health center demanding that the case be clarified.
02:31Roberto Brito tells us more.
02:36To commit the crime, the director of the health center said
02:39that the network of falsification of birth certificates
02:42that was articulated by the Public Ministry of the province of Peravia
02:45used a birth certificate of a child born in 2005 in that establishment.
02:50I issued, on January 19, 2013,
02:56five certificates to Mrs. Kirsi Paulino,
03:03late, I said no, more than one has never been issued here,
03:07in one day, and sometimes in a month none is issued.
03:11We looked for the book with the people of the board,
03:14who had been investigating for six months.
03:17When they saw it, I told them, let's go there,
03:20when we went, that the officer, there was his head,
03:24and the whole team was there.
03:28While Kirsi Paulino's family, who is included in the file,
03:32claim that she went to the office accompanied by Dominga Valdez,
03:36president of a foundation, and signed a document,
03:39but her children were not declared.
03:41Instead, birth certificates were granted to children of Haitian citizens.
03:46Because she does not know how to read or write,
03:48and in the board they told her to sign that.
03:50She took her two boys, and in the board they told her to sign that.
03:54She signed.
03:55There were people there in the office who had more responsibility than me in the case.
04:01Meanwhile, three of those accused by the Public Ministry,
04:04Suheiri Mercedes, Miosotis Cabrera and Elizabeth Mercedes,
04:07protested in front of the municipal hospital, defending their innocence.
04:10She confirmed the name of the officer.
04:13They looked for a person, a secretary, my name,
04:16that is, the name of the officer of the civil state.
04:18And on Google, supposedly, I come out.
04:20I receive the person and pass her to where she has to go,
04:27depending on the case, exactly.
04:29Did Dominga receive them?
04:30Yes, of course.
04:31With Mrs. Kirsi, they went, and I passed her to the officer.
04:36There was nothing irregular, of course, a Dominican name.
04:39The cashier of the office admitted to having given a receipt of the birth certificates
04:44of the alleged Haitian children,
04:46but assured that she did so under the authorization of the officer of the civil state,
04:50Maria Arias, who is currently in the United States evading responsibilities.
04:55Because when I receive them, they are already authorized.
04:58So I am an assistant, I am in charge, I have to do it.
05:01Because an internet center is only to get copies.
05:05Mrs. Dacely Falcón Pérez, mother of the owner of an internet center,
05:09defended her innocence.
05:10You know that everyone goes to the internet center to get copies,
05:15and they believe that he was the one who took that copy, and he did not take it.
05:19The director of this health center reported that she is available
05:24to come when the Public Ministry of the province of Peravia is required
05:28to clarify its version.
05:30For Telenoticias, Roberto Brito.
05:33Thank you, Roberto Brito, for your report.
05:35And a group of lawyers who make up the Dominican Association of Lawyers
05:38made an alliance to carry out, as a candidate, Claudio Polanco,
05:43who aspires to preside over that entity,
05:45whose elections are scheduled for the next 8th of March.
05:48The Gremial Renovation Board and the Board 2
05:51assured that with this unification they guarantee the triumph of Polanco,
05:55who committed to work for the welfare of the legal class of the Dominican Republic.
06:03We continue with more information here on Telenoticias.
06:05And given the instability that lives in Haiti,
06:08it becomes necessary, more than ever, to strengthen the armed forces.
06:12This is what President Luis Abinadén affirmed
06:14when delivering dozens of vehicles to the Castrian bodies.
06:17Guillermo García explains.
06:21The delivery of dozens of transport units was carried out
06:24at Camp 16 de Agosto, the headquarters of the Army,
06:27where the mandatory highlighted the need to strengthen the tools
06:31for the military to make their work more efficient.
06:35Strong and prepared armed forces are equal to a strong government and state.
06:45Both strengths go hand in hand.
06:48He maintained that he respects the migratory measures of friendly countries,
06:52in the same way that the deposits that the Dominican Republic takes in that sense should be received.
06:59Only each country can dispose of its migratory measures.
07:03We also have to prepare even more in that sense.
07:09On his side, the Army Commander-in-Chief affirmed
07:12that more than 270 people, including some military,
07:16have been subjected to justice for trafficking with undocumented people.
07:21Unfortunately, in that struggle,
07:26sadly, the majority of the detainees involved in undocumented trafficking
07:31were Dominicans.
07:33Among the Dominicans, there was the participation of some military
07:37and members of other institutions.
07:40The delivered equipment includes drones capable of carrying up to 66 pounds
07:46for precision work.
07:49The delivery of these equipment seeks that the different Castrian bodies
07:54strengthen their fight against human trafficking,
07:57drug trafficking and other crimes against the Dominican Republic.
08:02From Camp 16 de Agosto for Telenoticias, Guillermo García.
08:09Speaking of Haiti, Chancellor Roberto Álvarez warned of an aggravated Haitian migration crisis
08:14that could affect both the Dominican Republic and the United States
08:18if there is no coordinated and solid response from the international community
08:23to support economically the multinational force led by Kenya
08:27to expand its operational capacity and ensure more effective actions
08:31so that Haiti is on track to eliminate violence and the crisis imposed by the criminal gangs.
08:37The diplomat assured that the Haitian situation is a threat to the security of the entire region,
08:42including the North American territory.
08:45His statements were made during a work meeting in Miami
08:49with representatives of the business sector to present, among other issues,
08:53the projection of the Dominican Republic facing the 10th Summit of the Americas
08:58to be celebrated at the end of 2025.
09:02And changing the subject, and now we go to the field of health.
09:05After being quarantined in a classroom of a school in the National District
09:11due to a possible outbreak of varicella, among other students,
09:16the epidemiologist Carlos Félix assured that this Friday the country should not be surprised
09:23because these cases occur.
09:26That's why varicella is presented in the district.
09:28For example, in January there was a varicella outbreak in San Francisco
09:33and cases are presented because here there is no varicella vaccination coverage
09:38at the national level that is able to prevent this disease from developing.
09:45So that's not a surprise or an alarm.
09:51Although the vaccine is the only thing that prevents the varicella virus,
09:56the epidemiologist Carlos Félix indicated that there is no total coverage in the country,
10:02so it is not a surprise that some kind of outbreak occurs.
10:06The health worker also stressed that the varicella virus should not generate any kind of alarm.
10:14Let's move on to the school area.
10:16Teachers from the Cuevas community of the Municipal District of Peña in San Francisco de Macorís
10:21reported that the Eusebio Mansueta School has been waiting for 20 years
10:25for the construction of this facility.
10:28To date, the educational authorities have not responded to the call.
10:34They explained that the educational center has no conditions to continue teaching.
10:40They are removing people, even drunk people.
10:43They pass by with a bottle of alcohol in their hand.
10:46All kinds of people.
10:48And we have to be removing those people, which has brought us inconvenience
10:52because people get upset when we tell them to please leave.
10:56We hope that the authorities see the situation in which we are working.
11:02We don't have a teacher's room, we don't have a dining room, we don't have a library,
11:06as you can see, it is outdoors where the teachers make their planning.
11:13As you have seen, the space is very limited.
11:18In fact, although we have several areas in multi-degree,
11:23there are courses that are very close together,
11:28and teachers who cannot even concentrate on giving their classes.
11:33The teachers said that the students receive teaching in a classroom
11:37divided into three degrees and another degree that functions in the direction.
11:41The library is outdoors in a corridor,
11:45and in the director's office, the orientation and psychology department functions.
11:49Pre-school children receive classes in the community center,
11:53while others in the same community should be enrolled in other remote schools
12:00due to the lack of space in the Eusebio Mansueta school.
12:04Meanwhile, in the municipality of Las Llallas de Azoa,
12:08our teachers held a symbolic inauguration of a high school
12:11demanding the termination of the school, which has been abandoned for more than 12 years.
12:16Johancy Inova explains.
12:19Dressed in black with a ribbon cut of the same color,
12:22the ADP and other organizations, as a form of protest, inaugurated this high school.
12:27Because the authorities have not paid attention to the inauguration,
12:31we are inaugurating it symbolically.
12:34We are doing this act because we are doing this act
12:37so that the authorities once and for all pay attention to this municipality
12:42and give final touches to this high school.
12:45Today we are doing a false inauguration
12:49so that our government can see the conditions
12:53for which our children and adolescents have not been able to enter this place.
12:58The construction of Liceo Las Llallas is at 90%
13:02and for more than 12 years this work has been paralyzed.
13:06We can see it, this project, this construction has had several difficulties.
13:11The first, as you mention, was that this was a work that started with 56 million pesos
13:16and has reached more than 100 million pesos.
13:19Precisely because the ground, the soil, had to be sanitized.
13:22It was necessary to remove all that rotten material and bring aggregated material
13:25and compact all this.
13:27They made a call to the authorities of the Ministry of Education
13:30to come to their aid, since the most affected are the students.
13:35Well, this is a symbolic inauguration, right?
13:37It has a meta-message.
13:39It wants to bring awareness to the competent authorities
13:43concerning the Minister Luis Dekang,
13:46so that the Minister takes into consideration,
13:51in its fair measure,
13:53so that they come to the aid of this community of young people.
13:57We are in a school there, where it has certain precariousness.
14:03There, in that center, there are four more centers,
14:07where it is already too uncomfortable.
14:11From Las Yayas, in Azua, for Telenoticias, Johan Sinova.
14:16We continue with more information here on Telenoticias.
14:19Since 1 p.m. this Friday,
14:22they were exposed at the Blandino Funerary on Abramlin Avenue
14:25with the remains of the mother of the Vice President
14:28of the Dominican Liberation Party, P.L.D., Soray Macuello.
14:32Mrs. Maria Chanlate died yesterday
14:35while receiving medical attention in Sedimat.
14:38At the moment, the causes of her death are unknown.
14:41It is expected that, as the hours of this Friday advance,
14:44the former President of the Republic, Danilo Medina,
14:48and the former presidential candidate
14:50and colleague of Soray Macuello, Abel Martínez,
14:53among other political and business personalities, will come to pay their respects.
14:59The President of the Junta de Vecinos de la Agustinita
15:02of the National District, Alberto Joaquín,
15:06asked the Vice President of the Republic
15:08to come to the aid of a woman who was only identified as Yolanda
15:12because she remains uncertain about the sector
15:16after her son died in an accident
15:19with the vehicle of the advance of the Vice President in 2021.
15:24Joaquín came this Friday to the facilities of this medium
15:28along with several residents of the sector
15:30where they denounced that the woman had set her house on fire
15:34on several occasions and assaulted them with knives and bottles
15:39in the face of what they consider to be a state of depression.
15:43We ask the Vice President to come to the aid of this woman
15:48because she has been depressed since her son was hit by the vehicle.
15:53We are very worried about her because we can't even sleep
15:56because she keeps burning things and burning houses.
15:59Yesterday, a two-month-old girl was hit by a bottle.
16:02She's been with a knife for two days and she wants to hurt me.
16:07And I'm really afraid for my life.
16:09And what we need is help for the lady,
16:12for her family and for my family.
16:15That's all we ask.
16:17The accident in which the young man, Manuel Castillo García, lost his life
16:22occurred on March 5, 2021,
16:25on 27th Avenue in February with Wilson Schultz
16:28when he was riding a motorcycle
16:31and ignored, along with another motorcyclist who was injured,
16:35the signal from the DGZ agent
16:38that they would give way to the military advance of Vice President Raquel Peña.
16:44The Office for the Reorganization of Transport, OPRED, said that
16:48by July of this year is when the first trains of six wagons
16:53of lines 1 and 2 of the system will start operating
16:56with the aim of responding to the increase in demand
16:59in this mass transport medium.
17:02The Executive Director of the Institution, Engineer Rafael Santos Pérez,
17:06who explained that the circulation of trains of six wagons
17:10will be carried out gradually.
17:12Through a press release, Santos Pérez explained
17:16that the expansion includes the expansion of the five stations
17:20located in Santo Domingo Norte,
17:23which went from 60 to 120 meters,
17:26as well as the effective feeding
17:29with the launch of the sub-station Paraíso.
17:32The official indicated that progress is being made
17:35in the update of the software and the signaling.
