Requesting the intervention of authorities in the face of abuse committed against foreign investor in Cabarete
PUERTO PLATA.- Citizens of Cabarete, requested the intervention of the competent authorities in the face of what they described as “a major abuse” that was committed against a foreign investor.
The request was addressed to the President of the Republic, Luis Abinader, and the Attorney General of the Republic, Mirian German Brito, asking that an embargo made on a property acquired by a US citizen in Cabarete get investigated. It is explained that the investor Rocky Ross bought commercial premises in the same center of Cabarete for more than 50 million pesos from Mr. Frank Brittingham, but the acquired property was seized for an alleged debt that the latter had with the third parties.
During a meeting with the press, Mr. Ross accompanied by the lawyer Martha Cabrera and former employees of his company “Rocky’s Aqua” expressed their dissatisfaction with the procedure of the irregular embargo carried out on his property. With tears in his eyes, the investor said that he never thought he would be a victim of this situation that he has been experiencing for four years, after buying that property in good faith and setting up a company legally, as it has in the United States.
“I only think of these employees who earned their families living in the 16 business premises that I own, which today do not have a job,” he stressed. Likewise, several citizens who worked in the closed company owned by Rocky Ross, with posters and banners in their hands, demanded that the Public Ministry act quickly since they have been going through calamities for three years and four months. The community leader José Francisco Rivera, assured that Mr. Rocky Ross, has been the victim of a scheme that tries to deprive him of his property acquired for the sum of US $ 665,000 where he invested the US $ 200,000 in the removal of him. Rivera asked President Luis Abinader and the Attorney General of the Republic, Miriam Germán, to act in this case to prevent the foreign investment climate from being affected in Cabarete by this type of unhealthy and perverse actions.
