Main Points
The hearing for the “Caso Camaleón” is scheduled to resume on Tuesday, November 10. The case involves former director of the National Institute of Transit and Land Transport (INTRANT), Hugo Beras, and several other defendants who are accused of irregularities in the multimillion‑dollar contract to modernize the traffic‑light network in the Greater Santo Domingo area. The proceedings were postponed after one of the accused presented a medical certificate to justify his absence. The court re‑scheduled the hearing to ensure that all parties could exercise their right to defense. The Public Ministry’s file alleges administrative corruption, falsification of documents, money laundering and sabotage of critical state infrastructure. The accusations focus on alleged irregularities in the bidding and award process for the traffic‑light modernization contract, as well as possible administrative and financial maneuvers that could have compromised public funds and the operation of essential urban mobility infrastructure. The case has attracted public attention because it involves former officials and private individuals named by the prosecutor’s office, and because the contract’s scope and cost are significant for the city’s transit management. With the hearing’s resumption, the court will continue to examine the procedural actions that were delayed due to the medical reason. The Public Ministry maintains the charges in the file, while the defendants retain the right to present arguments and evidence in their defense. The proceedings remain under judicial review, and the allegations do not constitute a declaration of guilt. Article source: De Ultimo Minuto | Image credit: De Ultimo Minuto
