The head prosecutor of the National District prosecutor Yeni Berenice Reynoso said that fighting corruption in Dominican Republic, is a "Herculean" task that often practiced what he calls "legal gymnastics".

The official believes that there are laws to fight corruption, "but we need, because if we make comparisons with countries in the region in this field, we will see a big difference with our legislation and we think it is set the stage to assess some aspects important in our policies so that we can have better legal tools, aimed at breaking the culture of impunity that embraces us. "

"Pubic Ministry needs to create formulas that allow greater confidentiality without leaks of information in the investigative processes of corruption, because in the vast majority of cases before the requested information reaches the hands of the applicant, received calls from the person under investigation or relatives, questioning the reasons why investigations are conducted, making it much harder to be obtained without contamination results, and in some cases, this situation ends completely obstructing and blocking processes, "said Reynoso.

He said they are aware that as Public Ministry must further strengthen the fight against corruption. "If we want things to change we must fight for a strong and independent system and are at the right time to change the way we pursue corruption in the justice sector. The road we have traveled so far has not been enough and deserve a change, so there is no time to lose, we should promote changes and assume, "he said Yeni Berenice.
