Story Text & Photos © 2012 by Listin Diario Jun 20 2012 05:38AM
Listin Diario - Con su constante flujo de personas, tráfico de vehículos y ruidos propios de los núcleos urbanos, la Ciudad de Panamá parece estar lejos de ser el sitio ideal para vacacionar. Sin embargo, Juan Carlos Fernández, presidente comercial internacional de la cadena hotelera Decameron y la marca Hard Rock, asegura que en este lugar se funden ambientes llenos de energía que crean una excelente atmósfera para disfrutar al máximo de los períodos de descanso. Atractivo Si bien es importante que el hotel en que se hospede cuente con recursos modernos y facilidades de transporte, Fernández considera fundamental que el establecimiento también tenga vivacidad propia, “que sea divertido”. El Hard Rock Hotel Panamá Megapolis, que inauguró su primera fase el pasado 16 de abril con 31 pisos, es un ejemplo claro, refiere el empresario. En esta décimosexta entrega, la marca introduce su sello con una piscina infinita, un nuevo concepto de lounge (sala de estar) y un spa. Además, el empresario agrega: “No sol. . .

Story Text & Photos © 2013 by Dominican Today May 23 2013 16:29PM
Dominican Today - Santo Domingo- Gun business leader Eulalio Peralta on Thursday denied an alleged RD$28. 0 million fraud stemming from an Accounts Chamber audit on weapons the Armed Forces Ministry bought from his company. “Such strange news published by Acento. com and picked up by newspaper Hoy creates suspicion because on November 23, 2010, around three years ago, these weapons were delivered to the satisfaction of the Armed Forces Ministry,“ Peralta told elnacional. com. do. Peralta showed two Armed Forces Ministry documents dated May 22, 2013, one signed by comptroller-general Leonel Muñoz Noboa, and delivered in 2010 by Colonel Héctor Suárez Torres on November 23, which he affirms proves the weapons bought had been delivered. He said the Armed Forces Ministry certified having received 200, Colt M4 Commando assault rifles, clips and ammo. Acento. com first reported the alleged fraud on May 21 in an article titled “Audit detects false Armed Forces weapons purchase of more than RD$28 million“ during the tenure of Lt. Gen. Ramón Aquino Garcia, naming Peralta’s company as the beneficiary. Peralta said the rifles were delivered during Joaquín Pérez Féliz’s tenure as Minister of the Armed Forces.

Dominican Republic busts network possibly linked to foreign terrorists
Story Text & Photos © 2013 by Dominican Today May 23 2013 11:59AM
Dominican Today - Santo Domingo- The National Investigations Department (DNI) arrested members of a people trafficking network with possible links to international terrorist cells, who used Dominican Republic as a bridge from Cuba, France, Spain, Sri Lanka and Haiti. DNI chief operating officer Fidel Paulino identified the Sri Lankan- Canadian Karunanithy Nallathamby as the group’s leader, arrested in Sosua, Puerto Plata, while Kanthaany Siresh or Sriram Kannan, and Ganesh Mahenderan, or David Kristen and Kohulan Selvarasa, were detained in a house where they had hidden during two months. The DNI said Nallathamby had stolen original passports from a passport office in Canada to alter them and sell to Indian nationals who entered Dominican territory along the border with Haiti. In a press conference on Wednesday, the official said Nallathamby had been operating in the country during eight months, but came and went regularly to Canada where he came with four and five passports called “machetes“ according to his own statements. Paulino said the preliminary information shows that the network ‘s leader managed to smuggled more than 60 people into the country, mostly from the Middle East, whose whereabouts are being investigated. “They were then taken to Sosua where they stayed two months and then was sent to the United States and Canada via the various airport terminals in the country, particularly through Las Americas International Airport. “ He said the head of the network trafficked persons to the United States and Europe, with criminal cases pending in their home country using Dominican Republic as a bridge. He said to enter Dominican territory, network members Siresh, Ganesh and Selvarasa used the Sri Lanka-France route, then to Haiti, and from there to this nation, while the Sri Lankan Karunanithy went to Spain, from there to Cuba and then Dominican Republic via Haiti, and once in the country, to Sosua, Puerto Plata. “The variation of this route is because the members of this network at all times sought to throw off Dominican Republic’s security and immigration agencies,“ Paulino said. The authorities reportedly want to know if the network had any links or accomplices in the military services at the border and the airports. Paulino added that  last September Siresgh tried to leave the country via the Puerto Plata Aiport, using the forged passport JG495041, registered to the Canadian Tulsie Ran Budhran, but evaded and to escape from the agents.

Rodríguez es profesor universitario y, a propósito de celebrarse el centenario municipal de su amado Monción, le fue otorgado un reconocimiento por el ayuntamiento del lugar como Munícipe Distinguido.
