As is the case in all cases, in March 2017 Odebrecht, SA, celebrated a co-operation agreement with the Dominican Public Public Ministry, which was finalized with all the judicial authorities of the justice system. In essence, the agreement includes three fundamental pillars: (i) the collaboration conducted with the Public Ministry for the related investigations; (ii) the need to repair the State; and (iii) implementation of a compliance system. For another order, on the part of the state the fundamental is not to object to the rehabilitation of the company and its colleagues in order for vuelvan to own its activities in the country supplementing it with its economic and social function.

Effectively and as liability assumed by Odebrecht, SA, prior to the declarations and admits by its executives / collaborators, both of the Court, Odebrecht, SA , testimonials, awarded delinquencies and other documents for the verification of the witnesses admitted by their executives / collaborators involved in the operations of Odebrecht, SA, in the Dominican Republic. The contract is part of the probationary foundation of the Public Ministry’s accusation, against the defendants in the “Caso Odebrecht” case, which is the law of obtaining Auto de Apertura a Juicio No. 005-2019, dated June 21, 2019, delivered by the Special Instruction Instruction of the Supreme Court of Justice, is taking place in the fundraising phase, before the Honorable Primer Tribunal Collegiate of the Judicial Court of First Instance Instancia del Distrito Nacional. fundamental of the Accuerdo.

For its part, it is appropriate to reiterate that, on the day of Hoy Odebrecht, SA, he rescued the State with the payment of US $ 60,000,000.00 million dollars and the remaining amount, including the Accord, is reconciled as a penny to pay off the process of judicial financial restructuring that is taking place in Brazil, with the power to end all debts owed to our accreditors. Evidence that compliments the second pillar fundamental of the Accuerdo suffices.

When referring to our fully implemented compliance system, we state that the Independent Monitor, owned by the monitors of the United States Department of Justice in the operations of Odebrecht, SA and all its colleagues in the last 4 years, has been and satisfactorily. The Independent Department of Justice of the United States certifies that the conformity group compliance systems are designed and implemented to prevent and detect potential violations of anti-corruption laws. However, with informational information, it is known from the Public Ministry of the Dominican Republic. Evidence that compliments the third pillar of the Accuerdo is sufficient.

As demonstrated by the evidence, Odebrecht SA, has complied in time, content, and methodology with its obligations under the agreement with the Dominican Public Public Ministry, which conducts a formal and expressive compliment.

According to Mauricio Dantas Bezerra, domiciled and resident in Brazil, Legal Director of Odebrecht SA, proposed by the Public Ministry as testament in the criminal proceedings before comment, including being the exclusive quality of legal representative of Odebrecht SA at the moment of the company of dicho acuerdo de colaboración eficaz. Study in Dominican Republic and compare to the public hearing by the First Collegiate Tribunal on December 3, 2020, in a voluntary manner and with the aim of confirming the statements and compromises made by Odebrecht SA, in the Accuerdo referendum. Dicha audience was suspended, as a defender of the accused Víctor Díaz Rúa, positive to COVID-19. Product of the pandemic by dicha enferdaad that affected dramatically in the world and in a very special way in Brazil, for the next hearing was established with the Dominican Republic Public Ministry that virtually its submission to the tribunal, to which it will continue to be by a sovereign decision of the tribunal, the court shall not grant the solicitation that the Public Ministry has given effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the celebratory hearing on 21 December 2020, a formal apology will be presented before the Court, provided that, for this purpose, uncompromising professional and family agendas are arranged, more than the difficulties involved in obtaining assistance from the associates. the COVID-19 pandemic, reiterating a new move on this occasion to make it a virtual testament to the position of the Embassy of the Dominican Republic in Brazil. What is evident is the seriousness with which each testimony is taken and has taken the completion of his obligation, which he claims to complete rigorously and without hesitation. In such a way that no reticent testimony has been taken, we have a citizen available to supplement the case.

The propri ocurre con el Dr. Rodrigo Maluf Cardoso, Brazilian, resident of Brazil, testified as testator at the Public Ministry and presented virtually all the hearings to execute his testimony before this, quoted to be presented to the court before the hearing on December 21, 2020. no. 1351/2020, from the 17th of December of 2020, under the auspices of the Minister Ernesto Ortiz Reynoso, is subject to material imposition, by the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Without embarrassment, it reverts to the provision of the dominant court and to the compromise of its complicity with its obligation to testify in a court of law.

As far as we are concerned, there is no reason or causal reason to assume the possibility on the part of the Public Ministry, to obtain an Accord that as the existing one has given very beneficial fruits for the implementation of the criminal anticorruption policy of the Republic. In Odebrecht, SA there is an inequitable determination to continue supplementing its obligations under the Agreement. The present justification for these testimonies to the ultimate audience must not be associated with any concept of a waiver of responsibilities, but only for the moment they escape control of them. Mas, deseamos dejar clear that complying with the obligation to perform his testimony in the tribunal.

Finally, we will continue to trust that the form of act of the authorities of the Public Ministry must be acted upon, in addition to the constitutional norm that establishes that in the Dominican Republic there is a social and democratic state of law, with legal certainty, the law , the debit process and the guarantee of protection to fundamental rights its standards that must apply to all classes of judicial and administrative actions.
