The newly enacted Penal Code in the Dominican Republic has officially criminalized the violation of judicial protection and restraining orders. This legislative update establishes that failing to comply with court-mandated restrictions now constitutes a criminal offense, marking a significant shift in the legal framework governing domestic and protective measures.
