Rafael Guerrero is released on parole after defamation accusation

Santo Domingo.– The Fourth Criminal Chamber of the National District ordered this Thursday the conditional release of the communicator and content creator Rafael Guerrero, accused of alleged defamation and insult by the former director of the National Drug Control Directorate (DNCD), Rolando Rosado Mateo.

The judicial decision includes the placement of an electronic shackle and the prohibition of leaving the country while the process is ongoing. Guerrero had been arrested on Wednesday at the Palace of Justice of Ciudad Nueva, after Judge Franny González ordered his detention for not appearing on time for the scheduled hearing.

The court set a new hearing for tomorrow, at which it will be decided whether the communicator remains at liberty under these conditions or whether he must comply with another coercive measure.
