Jean André Pumarol hands over authorities in judicial process

Jean André Pumarol was surrendered to authorities by his relatives on Thursday in the Dominican Republic. The action followed a decision by the Segunda Sala de la Corte Penal, which revoked a previous ruling of 'no ha lugar'—a dismissal in his favor—and instead imposed a three-month period of preventative detention.

The legal proceedings stem from a charge involving a death. Pumarol's surrender executes the appellate court's newly issued restrictive measure, shifting his legal status as the judicial process continues.
