Man surrenders over alleged plan targeting President Abinader

Leo Omar Antonio Brens Brito voluntarily surrendered this Friday to the National Police in San Francisco de Macorís, denied any link to the alleged plan…

--- The context --- Authorities are investigating an alleged plan to attack President Luis Abinader, supposedly planned for the Constitution Day commemoration this Friday. Every accusation remains alleged. --- The facts --- Leo Omar Antonio Brens Brito, identified by authorities in the alleged plot, voluntarily surrendered this Friday to the National Police in San Francisco de Macorís. Brens Brito explained that he paints signs and that a young man asked him for some posters. That young man is Delvinson De la Cruz Sosa, aged 29, in custody and identified as the alleged main organizer. The coercion hearing against De la Cruz Sosa, scheduled for Thursday, was postponed until Tuesday. The Public Ministry reported other people implicated in the file, pursued by security agencies. --- The positions --- Brens Brito stated publicly that he surrendered because he has nothing to do with the alleged plan and said he has no objection to being investigated. --- What remains unknown --- Authorities have yet to present evidence behind each accusation or specify what role they attribute to Brens Brito, beyond the poster order he described. --- Unanswered questions --- What evidence links Brens Brito to the alleged plan? What role do authorities attribute to the posters? How many more people are being pursued in the file? --- EPM analysis --- The case moves on two tracks: a man who surrendered denying any link, and an official file without public evidence yet. Abinader returns tonight after the Ibero-American Summit in Madrid, held Wednesday and Thursday. 📌 EPM Take: In EPM's view, Brens Brito's voluntary surrender should be weighed without prejudice: a man who presents himself to the authorities and accepts investigation exercises a right protected by the presumption of innocence. The burden now falls on prosecutors, who must turn each accusation into verifiable evidence before a judge, without public verdicts delivered in advance or labels replacing a fair and proper judicial process.
