DMK Abogados has successfully represented the local subsidiary of one of the most prestigious multinational corporations in the world, in a criminal case initiated for theft at its plant located in the Dominican Republic.

The free zone operator company was the victim of a theft perpetrated by two of its employees, who stole precious jewelry from its industrial plant.

The legal team of DMK Abogados was represented by the partner and director of the Litigation department, Nelson Jáquez Suárez, and by Nelson Camilo Garrido, associate and criminal lawyer of the Firm. The lawyers represented the company in the filing of a criminal complaint and in the preliminary phase consisting of the Coercion Measure. After responding to several incidents raised by the defense bar, all were rejected by the Judge based on strong arguments from the constituted civil party, thus achieving a victory with optimal results, in which the accused were sentenced to serve a sentence of preventive prison. As part of its strategy, the company has decided to pursue the case and take it to the last consequences to serve as a precedent, sending the message that this type of unscrupulous actions will not go unpunished, strengthening its trust in our justice system.

This case is important for the free zone sector, an indispensable engine of the Dominican economy and also strengthens our Rule of Law.
