Jean Alain lacks arguments to face the evidence against him, says Wilson Camacho

He maintained that the former official prosecuted for corruption only goes to court to lie.


Santo Domingo. –Deputy Attorney Wilson Camacho assured this Wednesday that the defense of the accused Jean Alain Rodríguez Sánchez only shows interest in delaying the process due to the lack of arguments from the defendant to face the evidence against him for the subtraction of public funds contributed by taxpayers. “The defense speaks of incidents; they are the same incidents that they presented in the intermediate stage and that were all rejected in the intermediate stage. They only present those incidents here with the manifest interest of delaying the process,” said the head of the General Prosecution Directorate of the accusing body. Camacho heads the Public Ministry team, along with court prosecutor Mirna Ortiz, head of the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for the Prosecution of Administrative Corruption (Pepca), and prosecutors Aurelio Valdez and Emmanuel Ramírez.

"Today they even had the audacity, once they were exposed and forced to present their incidents as a whole, to then ask the court for a postponement to give them time to organize, to present their own incidents," Camacho added.

“I mean, those incidents they are referring to, it seems they are not even ready, nor do they know the content of them to present them to the court, because the only interest that Jean Alain Rodríguez and his defense have is to delay the process,” he said.

When responding to the journalists who approached him as he left the New City Courthouse, Camacho indicated: "First, Jean Alain is lying; he has done so throughout the entire process and, although it is a right that the Constitution grants him, it is good to show that he comes to court to lie and today has been no exception." The judges of the Second Collegiate Tribunal of the National District, Claribel Nivar, Yissell Soto and Clara Castillo, adjourned the hearing until next Monday, February 16, 2026, at 9:00 in the morning. According to the record, Rodríguez Sánchez embezzled more than RD$6,000 million through fraudulent processes between 2016 and 2020, years in which he served as Attorney General of the Republic.
