Five years in prison for man for violence against his ex-partner

The Public Ministry in the Dominican Republic has arrested Andrés Horacio Sánchez Mota to execute a definitive five-year prison sentence. The conviction stems from charges of gender-based and domestic violence against his former partner.

The arrest follows a ruling by the Supreme Court of Justice, which revoked a previous acquittal that Sánchez Mota had initially obtained in the case.
