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.
By codifying these violations, the new law provides authorities with a direct legal mechanism to prosecute individuals who ignore protective mandates. This change aims to strengthen the enforcement of judicial orders and enhance the legal protection afforded to individuals under such restrictions.
