Dominican authorities intervened at a cardboard factory owned by Chinese capital in the municipality of San Antonio de Guerra. The operation was carried out by the Ministry of Housing and Buildings (Mived) and the Specialized Fuel Control Corps (Ceccom), under the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.
The action was taken because the company was operating without the required permits, both for the construction of its facilities and for their operation.
During the operation, authorities also dismantled a fuel storage facility inside the factory. According to the available information, the site did not have the authorizations needed to store the amount of fuel found there.
Agents from the General Directorate of Migration (DGM) also took part in the intervention. Their task was to verify whether the company employed foreign workers in irregular immigration status.
So far, authorities have not reported the amount of fuel found, the number of workers checked by Migration, or the sanctions the company could face.
