Procuraduría General de la República Dominicana

What Procuraduría General de la República Dominicana does

The Procuraduría General de la República Dominicana (Ministerio Público) is the constitutional government institution of the Dominican Republic responsible for criminal prosecution and investigation, exercising public criminal action on behalf of society. Established under the Constitution of 1844 and modernized by Law 133-11 of 2011, the institution serves all citizens of the Dominican Republic, legal professionals, victims of crime, and vulnerable populations through mandated universal access to justice. It is currently led by Procuradora General Yeni Berenice Reynoso Gómez, appointed in February 2025 as the fourth woman to hold the position in Dominican history. The institution's mission is the formulation and implementation of state policy against criminality, directing criminal investigations across all 35 provinces and the National District.

The institution operates through a network of approximately 38 regional and provincial prosecutor offices, complemented by specialized prosecution units covering anti-corruption (PEPCA), human trafficking and migrant smuggling (PETT), high-tech crimes (PEDATEC), arms control (PECTA), anti-money laundering, environmental crimes (Proedemarem), electoral crimes, and drug-related crimes (PEDECSA). Supporting institutions include INACIF for forensic sciences, the Escuela Nacional del Ministerio Público (IES-ENMP) for prosecutor training, SINAREC for alternative dispute resolution, and victim services including Línea Vida hotline and Centro de Atención a Sobrevivientes de Violencia. The technology stack centers on the Portal de Servicios en Línea (portal.servicios.pgr.gob.do) for digital citizen services, the Sistema de Investigación Criminal (SIC) for criminal records management, the Portal Jurisprudencial for legal research, and a Repositorio de Casos documenting major corruption cases (Antipulpo, Calamar, Coral 5G, Medusa). Project G5, launched in 2025, represents an ongoing technology transformation initiative.

The entity is funded through the Dominican Republic's national budget rather than commercial revenue, though it generates modest standardized transactional service fees (RD$600–800 for criminal record certificates, RD$700 for document certification, RD$2,500 for lawyer exequatur) that flow to the public treasury. Service distribution operates via a multi-channel model combining online self-service portals, physical citizen attention centers, regional courts, and extended-hours Puntos GOB locations. Active case volume reached 236,783 cases in 2025, including 73,295 cases of domestic and gender-based violence, and the institution maintains operational cooperation with U.S. federal agencies (HSI, U.S. Marshals), UNODC, the European Union, and other international partners on transnational crime matters.
