--- The context --- The National Institute for Custody and Administration of Seized, Confiscated and Forfeited Assets opened registration this Monday, October 19, for its second public auction of 2026 in the Dominican Republic, offering more than 200 assets distributed across five areas of the country. The call is built around wider access: in-person registration at its offices and a virtual option available 24 hours a day through the institution's official portal. --- The facts --- The registration period will remain open until Friday, November 13, with a non-refundable fee of RD$5,000. In-person registration will run Monday to Friday, from 8:30 in the morning to 5:00 in the afternoon, and on Saturdays, from 9:00 in the morning to 1:00 in the afternoon. The offer includes houses, apartments, lots, farms, jewelry, high-value watches, vehicles, scrap lots, vessels and aircraft. The assets will be distributed across Greater Santo Domingo, the National District and the North or Cibao, South and East regions. --- The positions --- From a transparency perspective, the strongest element is the interconnected validation. According to the institution, the system will be interconnected with the Central Electoral Board, the Comptroller General of the Republic and the General Directorate of Internal Taxes to speed up document validation. The award session is scheduled for November 25 at the Police Institute of Higher Education. During the morning, movable assets will be auctioned, while in the afternoon it will be the turn of real estate, in two separate blocks. --- What remains unknown --- This announcement does not detail base prices or specific conditions for each asset. The institution urged interested parties to consult the catalogue of available assets and the terms and conditions on its official website before registering. --- Unanswered questions --- Will the catalogue allow a clear comparison of the condition and location of each of the more than 200 assets? Will the virtual option truly make it easier to take part from all five areas of the country? How many people will register before Friday, November 13? --- EPM analysis --- When seized, confiscated and forfeited assets return to circulation through a public, regulated channel, the return is twofold: property under custody is put in order and a verifiable opportunity opens for citizens. The key will be a complete and accessible catalogue. 📌 EPM Take: In EPM's view, this auction matters for its combination of broad access and document control: in-person and virtual registration around the clock, cross-validation with three institutions and a clear award date on November 25. If the catalogue and the terms are consulted in time and that traceability holds through the end, the second public auction of 2026 can become an example of transparent management of assets under custody in the Dominican Republic.
