The investigation is being led by prosecutors Mayerling Rondón and Claudio Cordero, from the La Romana Prosecutor's Office and the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing, respectively.
The facts
The file details that the members of the network created a company called Novasco Real Estate, SRL, for the purpose of committing the crime and subsequently acquired the franchise of Re/MAX, a highly known multinational company in which anyone could feel confident, due to its high level of credibility; however, it was all a farce, to acquire clients, who became victims of this network.
Marisol Nova Nolasco, Rocío del Alba Rodríguez de Moya and Yves Alexandre Giroux are being held in pretrial detention for their connection to the case, while Loany Lismeiry Ortiz Nova was arrested in Colombia while trying to cross into Venezuela and has been detained since February 2025, pending her extradition process.
