Bosch’s Misappropriation of Judicially Seized Dividends

This criminal complaint centers on Juan Luis Bosch Gutiérrez’s alleged misappropriation of dividends belonging to Lisa, S.A., whose shareholder rights were later succeeded by BDT Investments Inc. Despite a 2018 court order requiring Villamorey to satisfy its judgment through setoff and return the surplus, Bosch retained the funds, executed an unlawful capital increase, obstructed audits, and withheld financial records, prompting a criminal investigation for misappropriation and related offenses.

Criminal Case Against Eleventh Civil Court Judge for Inaction

This criminal complaint centers on the alleged deliberate obstruction of the enforcement proceedings initiated by Lisa, S.A. against Villamorey, S.A. The former Eleventh Civil Court judge allegedly froze the case for more than two years, ignored mandatory procedural requests, and blocked legally required embargo measures, preventing the execution of a binding judicial order in Lisa’s favor. These actions led to a criminal investigation for abuse of authority and breach of public-service duties, which the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor formally admitted through Resolution No. 55-2025.

The complaint asserts that Bosch withheld Lisa’s 33.3% shareholder dividends, concealed or destroyed accounting records, and ignored judicial deposit obligations ordered by the Eleventh Civil Court. These actions prompted a criminal investigation for fraud, financial crimes, document falsification, and related offenses, which the Public Ministry formally admitted through Resolution No. 2186-22.

Unlawful Intimidation of a Civil Judge by Villamorey

This criminal complaint concerns allegations that Villamorey, S.A., its legal representative Ramiro López Nimatúj, and its law firm GALA sought to intimidate the Fourth Civil Court judge presiding over Lisa’s judicial-accounting case. By filing a baseless criminal complaint against the judge—later dismissed by prosecutors—they allegedly pressured the court to reverse an embargo order, obstructed judicial scrutiny, and engaged in conduct forming part of a broader pattern aimed at undermining Lisa’s shareholder rights.
