Dominican judge orders to open trial for Wander Franco

Saint Dominic. Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco will have to face trial for sexual abuse of a minor, a judge in the Dominican Republic ruled.

After more than a year of investigation, Judge Pascual Valenzuela in the northern province of Puerto Plata ruled that the evidence presented by the Prosecutor’s Office merits a substantive trial. No date was scheduled for the trial, which will be carried out by a panel of magistrates. There is no jury trial in the Dominican Republic.

The minor’s mother, accused of marketing her daughter and being Franco’s accomplice, also goes to the next stage, where they would be sentenced or discharged.

The accused, who has refused to speak to the press about the issue, repeated the phrase “everything is in God’s hands” as he left the hearing that lasted more than five hours.

“It was sent, as expected, to a substantive trial,” said the baseball player’s lawyer, Teodosio Jáquez after the hearing.

Prosecutors said the judge’s decision validates the strength of the evidence. “We understand that it is a firm accusation and the court understood it that way. The evidence presented by the Public Ministry closely links the accused with the typology described in the indictment,” said prosecutor Claudio Cordero.

Franco, who was placed on administrative leave by Major League Baseball in May, arrived crestfallen at the courthouse at 9 a.m. and remained silent during the hearing, listening to his attorneys’ defense and prosecutors’ arguments.

According to prosecutors, Wander paid thousands of dollars to the minor’s mother to consent to the relationship, which lasted four months. During the raids on the house of the minor’s mother, prosecutors say they found $68,500 and $35,000 that was allegedly delivered by Franco.

The most serious charges that the accused will be facing are those of sexual rape of a minor, for which he could receive sentences of between 10 to 15 years in prison and human trafficking, which is punishable in the Dominican Republic with sentences of between 15 and 20 years. The process has been carried out in Puerto Plata, where the victim is from, and where the events occurred.

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com September 12, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The famous Mexican YouTuber was brought to justice for recording a video inside the subway facilities.

There is no doubt that the YouTuber, Luis Arturo Villar Sudek, better known as Luisito Comunica, is a magnet for problems with the authorities, not only in Mexico, but in various parts of the world. Let us remember that, in mid-2021, he publicly denounced that a police officer at the Mexico International Airport was trying to extort him by trying to fine him 18 thousand pesos for “using his cell phone.”

On another occasion, back in 2017, he also influencer He had a problem at Dhaka-Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Bangladesh. Authorities did not allow him to enter the country unless he did so completely as a “tourist” and without the possibility of recording videos or taking photos (mainly showing government buildings or capturing the image of police or military elements). If he were to post something on his social media that violates the restrictions, the authorities of that country could take legal action.

That same restriction also caused him problems in Tanzania, back in 2020. On that occasion, Luisito Comunica had legal disputes that almost ended in prison. This was because the YouTuber started recording panoramic views of the city of Dar Es Salam.

Of course, the presence of military and police was not long in coming and they arrested the influencer under the argument that the law prohibits taking video or photos of government buildings or military or police personnel. To avoid spending time behind bars, Luisito had to delete any image that violated the regulations of that African country.

Dominican Republic Metro Police vs. Luisito Comunica

After so many run-ins with the authorities of various countries, including Mexico, it would seem that Luisito Comunica should already know a little more about the laws of the countries he visits or intends to visit. However, it seems that this is not the case.

Now, during his visit to the Dominican Republic, the Mexican YouTuber was arrested by local authorities. The reason: taking pictures or videos inside the subway. The “Users Manual of the Metro and Cable Car Services of Santo Domingo” specifies in one of its points that it is prohibited to take photos or record audio or video, for personal purposes, of the facilities of said public transportation systems, unless there is prior authorization from the authorities, which must be shown to the person or authority of the subway that requests it.

In the company of the influencer dominate, AquamanLuisito explained that, at the last minute, they tried to take some shots inside the subway to highlight its advantages and benefits. However, the police entered the car to arrest them for allegedly not having the permits to film inside the subway, which violates the country’s laws that aim to guarantee people’s privacy and safety.

They also commented that the metro police officers became intense and even took out their batons and then handcuffed them. But after a while, they were released to continue with the videos about the country. Of course, Aquaman did not judge the reason for the arrest; but he did judge the way in which the police proceeded, who even pulled Luisito, a situation that, said the youtuber, should not happen to any person, whether Dominican or foreign.
