Amid growing international scrutiny tied to a high-profile Spanish corruption investigation centered on pandemic-era public contracts, the Dominican Republic government has issued a firm official statement cutting any ties between the current administration and companies linked to the so-called Koldo case.
The clarification, released from the capital Santo Domingo, directly addresses recent reports published in Spanish media that have suggested connections between Dominican authorities and the entities named in the Spanish probe. The government explicitly stated that no public procurement contracts or purchase agreements have been signed with any of the connected firms since the current administration took office on August 16, 2020.
Authorities went on to name each of the companies at the center of the allegations: Pronalab, Modular HV Corp, Reusa, GSI Dominicana, Bali, Megalab Eurofino, and Eurofins Histolog. Even amid unproven claims that suspects in the Koldo case attempted to secure business deals with the Dominican Republic during the height of the global COVID-19 pandemic, Dominican officials confirmed that no formal agreements were ever finalized with any of these entities.
The statement reaffirmed that the current government maintains zero commercial or contractual relationships with these firms across all public sector procurement processes. This official pushback comes as the Koldo investigation continues to unfold in Spain, where authorities are probing widespread allegations of fraud and irregularities in public contracts awarded for pandemic-related response efforts. By issuing this explicit denial, the Dominican administration aims to reinforce its commitments to transparency and public accountability, pushing back against any implications of improper ties to the ongoing Spanish corruption probe.
