The resolution requires production of 18 specific categories of banking information and documentation linked to Juan Luis Bosch Gutiérrez (passport No. A1425075) and Villamorey, S.A. (Folio 9146, Roll 367, Image 303, Mercantile Section), within the investigation into alleged crimes against the economic order, against public trust, and related offenses identified under Case No. 202200053278. The categories include: account opening applications and dates, due diligence and client profile documents, transactional profiles, account opening contracts, identification of ultimate beneficial owners, signature cards and powers of attorney, cash deposit slips, records of domestic and international wire transfers (including SWIFT instructions and ACH transfers), bank statements for the 2018–2022 period in both printed and digital format, investment portfolio documents, safe deposit box visitor logs, credit and debit card statements, and mortgage, pledge, commercial, and agricultural loan agreements with current balances. The documentation must cover the period from December 2018 through the date of each institution's response.
