Major Raúl Alejandro Girón remains under house arrest

Army Major Raúl Alejandro Girón remains under house arrest following a court decision on Monday. Girón, who is among the military personnel recently convicted for a state fraud scheme exceeding 4.5 billion pesos, had filed a habeas corpus petition seeking to lift his current detention restrictions.

The habeas corpus request was formally rejected by the court, ensuring that Girón's house arrest status continues without alteration. The case stems from a massive corruption scandal involving billions of pesos defrauded from the Dominican state, implicating multiple members of the military.
