BETRAYAL AND WAR!: Alofoke demands immediate trial and breaks live with a close figure

Santo Domingo.— Without mentioning her name and visibly disconcerted, Santiago Matías referred to a person he qualified as "Prince Matías's grandmother," to whom he said he was withdrawing all his support as of tonight. While referring to the case of a lawsuit he is facing, he expressed: "I expected more from you, I withdraw my support as of tonight." The statements were offered during the live broadcast of "Prime Time" on Planeta Alofoke, where the businessman and communicator also addressed the lawsuit filed against him for an amount of 100 million Dominican pesos. In that context, Matías criticized the media handling of the case, pointing out that some media outlets spread the lawsuit with a sensationalist approach, but did not give space to his version of events. Furthermore, he made a direct call to the Public Ministry, specifically to the prosecutor of the National District, Rosalba Ramos, requesting that the process move forward quickly. "I want the summons to reach me quickly, within due process. Set a date, because I want to face it," he stated.

The communicator made it clear that he will not allow delays in the judicial process. "I don't want them to drag it out. My legal team is not going to ask for extensions. We're going all in," he affirmed, reiterating his intention to face the plaintiff congresswoman and her husband in court. He also revealed that the lawyer handling the case against him is Miguel Valerio, whom he identified as a well-known figure in high-profile litigation. Matías took the opportunity to thank the support received from nationalist and social organizations, assuring that they will accompany him to the Palace of Justice when he is summoned. The pronouncement has generated multiple reactions on social media, especially due to the personal tone of his words and the public rupture evidenced during the live broadcast.
