Security forces expanded operational actions in the Senasa 2.0 case, carrying out break-ins at the family home of Ángel Luis Guzmán and detaining his father, mother, and brother. The operation was carried out last Friday, according to the N.com.do medium.
The family’s lawyer, Billy Jerónimo, confirmed that the detained, identified as Don Ángel, Doña Milagros, and Yeuri Guzmán, are under custody at the Attorney General’s Office. Jerónimo stated that the relatives have no relation to the alleged fraud scheme involving the Sanitary Regulation Agency (ARS). According to the lawyer, the parents of the accused work as janitors at the National Health Service (SNS) and only exercise basic administrative functions, which, according to him, do not link them to the case.
Context of the Senasa 2.0 case
Ángel Luis Guzmán, who was fired from the ARS, has been in preventive prison at Las Parras prison for approximately six months. The investigation focuses on a suspected fraud for the billing of services not performed. The relatives had already been interrogated on previous occasions, and the defense maintains that they are not related to the actions imputed.
Reactions from the defense
The lawyer Billy Jerónimo questioned the intervention of the authorities, pointing out that the family is not linked to the fraud scheme. In addition, he highlighted that the Public Ministry already knows that the relatives are not involved, and he expects to know the legal justification for the new detentions.
Implications for the investigation
With the relatives detained, the investigation could expand its scope to determine possible indirect links with the case. The detention of people who are not directly involved can generate doubts about the legality of the procedures and the protection of civil rights.
