AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Penal Code Overhaul: The Dominican Republic approved a new Penal Code that expands anti-corruption tools, lengthens statutes of limitations for corruption probes, bans convicted officials from holding office, and creates criminal liability for legal entities—pushing stronger corporate compliance and internal controls. Health Compliance Push: Funglode launched a Criminal Compliance Plan for the health sector, timed to the Executive’s recent Penal Code amendment that tightens prevention-program requirements for providers and insurers. PLD Internal Realignment: Two PLD presidential hopefuls—Charlie Mariotti and Mario Bruno—back Gonzalo Castillo, signaling a possible consensus shift ahead of 2028. Water & Tourism Infrastructure: President Abinader inaugurated the Juan Dolio wastewater treatment plant and said similar systems are planned for Boca Chica and other coastal/tourist areas to protect soil and sustain tourism. Regional Justice Tech: Dominican public defenders promoted “open justice” and ethical AI use at an inter-American summit in Ecuador. Environment & Enforcement: The Environment Ministry moved to curb forest fires with more military surveillance and a temporary ban on unauthorized agricultural burning through Aug. 31. Santo Domingo 2026 Games: Centro Caribe Sports head Luis Mejía Oviedo said attendance demand is on track for “record participation” as the games enter their final stretch.
