Jean Alain Rodríguez insists that the criminal proceedings be dismissed.

The legal defense team for former Dominican Republic Attorney General Jean Alain Rodríguez has formally requested the termination of his ongoing criminal proceedings. The defense argues that the case has exceeded the statutory maximum duration of four years, a position they claim is supported by the Washington, D.C.-based World Jurist Association and various national legal organizations.

This move seeks to apply legal time limits to the prosecution of the former official, who served from 2016 to 2020. By citing external legal bodies, the defense aims to reinforce the argument that the duration of the current judicial process has surpassed established legal boundaries.
