Machinery to lay asphalt broke down
The entire highway from Los Charamicos to beyond Supermercado Polo has been now partially stripped off the asphalt layer for several weeks. This causes a lot of nuisance for busy traffic every day. The road surface is full of slots and holes and in dry weather it produces clouds of dust. Sometimes the dust clouds are so intense that the visibility is a few meters away. Motoconchos now wear dust masks. Everyone is waiting for the traffic artery to be properly paved. However, we hear now that the machinery to lay asphalt broke down. The parts for the repair have been ordered but the delivery will take a few weeks.

Schools close preparing for 6 October primaries
President Danilo Medina ordered on Wednesday, 2 October 2019 the suspension of teaching activities at the state university and pre-university education system on Saturday, 5 October and Sunday, 6 October for the primaries. The Presidency issued Decree 340-19 whereby the Ministry of Education is to place public school locations at the service of the Central Electoral Board (JCE), starting Friday, 4 October at 4pm. The decree also puts public administration vehicles at the service of the JCE on Saturday and Sunday.
The two leading political parties in the Dominican Republic, the ruling Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) and the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) are holding their primaries on 6 October 2019. Voters are asked to choose the party candidates for the 16 February 2020 municipal elections and the 17 May 2020 presidential and congressional elections on Sunday, 6 October 2019. In the case of the PLD, the primaries are open to more than seven million eligible voters. In the case of the PRM, the primary is restricted to voters that have registered as PRM party members. Voters can only participate in one of the two simultaneous polls.
The organization of the 6 October simultaneous primaries, where only the official Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) and the opposition Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) will participate, is costing taxpayers RD$2.4 billion. Listin Diario explains that the Central Electoral Board (JCE) is covering RD$1.16 billion, while the PLD and the PRM will contribute RD$241 million from the allotments they receive by law from the state.

First Dominican case against virtual currency traders
State prosecutors deposited in court the first formal charges against seven implicated in a case of fraud and laundering of assets using virtual currency.
The indictment from the National District Attorney’s Office, represented by incumbent prosecutor Rosalba Ramos, and prosecutors Massiel María López, Elvira Rodríguez and Magalys Sánchez Guzmán, indicates that 111 victims were swindled for US$471,154.00 and RD$4,610,492.00. The prosecutors charge that the assets were later laundered through a financial pyramid scheme.
André Luis Feitosa Santos, Gabriel Eduardo Gómez Otero, Guarién Jesús Ariza Lluberes, Guarién Buenaventura Ariza García, Ronny Rafael Martínez Taveras, Aaron David Taveras Vélez and Bramna Elizabeth Leger Burgos are charged with these criminal acts. According to the Public Prosecutor’s Office, from 2014 onwards, they were structuring a criminal organization that, through the use of misleading advertising and the use of electronics and telecommunications media, managed to attract victims.
The fraudulent business scheme created by the defendants was promoted to the public as a business opportunity to make money by trading in virtual currencies.
The investigations carried out by the Public Prosecutor’s Office revealed that the assets were laundered through the pyramid companies IfreeX, Wishclub, i7Group, Royals Club Live, Alive Club, Tradingwaves Fusion, Bit Trader Banking, and finally My Trader Coin and Money Free, through the digital portals: https://mytradercoin.com and https://office.moneytfreeworld.club
