Read it:
The Dominican Republic sells beaches and baseball; its own courts and reporters tell another story. A general who guarded the president, sentenced in 2026 over a security payroll on which, prosecutors said, men who never served handed back most of their pay. A Brazilian builder that admitted ninety-two million dollars in Dominican bribes, and nine years later not one Dominican conviction. A bank that kept two sets of books until the whole country paid. A rigged lottery draw, a former attorney general on trial, traffickers home from American prisons. Covers Adán Cáceres and the presidential security corps CUSEP, Alexis Medina and the Antipulpo companies, Ángel Rondón and Odebrecht, Ramón Báez Figueroa and Baninter, César Peralta and his Santo Domingo nightclubs, and Jean Alain Rodríguez and the attorney general's office.
