Jean Alain Rodríguez insists that the criminal proceedings be dismissed.

The defense team for former Dominican Republic Attorney General Jean Alain Rodríguez (2016-2020) formally requested the termination of his ongoing criminal proceedings this Monday. The motion centers on the argument that the legal maximum duration for the case, established at four years, has been exceeded.

To support this petition, the defense cited endorsements from the Washington, D.C.-based World Jurist Association and various prominent national legal associations. These groups have reportedly advocated for the strict application of the four-year statutory limit regarding the duration of the penal process.
