　　Use and controversy of signal interceptors

　　Signal interceptors are a technology used to block communications of electronic devices and are widely used in special scenarios such as military and border monitoring. Wifi jammerThe original intention of the Dominican Republic Prosecutor's Office to purchase these devices was to protect the country's borders, especially the border with Haiti. However, Rodríguez transferred these devices to his private villa through fraudulent means for illegal use. This is not only an abuse of power, but also a violation of citizens' privacy and undermining the legitimate use of public resources.

　　Investigation and revelations by independent prosecutors

　　As the investigation deepened, the Office of the Independent Prosecutor and Special Prosecutor for Administrative Corruption (Pepca) found that there were many false information in the procurement documents of these signal interceptors. Rodriguez had signed documents claiming that these devices were used for Dominican-Haiti border security, but in fact, they were placed in his holiday villa in Casa de Campo.

　　In the interview, Soni Rosario José revealed that Rodriguez had asked him in the office to help forge documents to prove that these anti-drone devices were used for national security. He also said that Rodriguez installed these devices in his villa on the grounds of preventing illegal espionage, trying to cover up his excessive concern for private security.

　　Equipment procurement and waste of funds

　　According to the Pepca investigation report, the total purchase price of these signal interceptors was 3,974,156 Dominican pesos (about US$70,000). Prior to this, the Dominican government purchased similar signal blocking equipment for a new prison in 2018. However, the devices were never put into use, and Hilda Lagombre, head of the prison administration, confirmed that the country's prisons were not equipped with signal blocking devices. This means that the equipment purchased by the government at a huge cost was wasted and illegally diverted for private use.

　　The tip of the iceberg of political corruption

　　Jean-Alain Rodriguez's abuse of signal blockers is just part of his corruption during his tenure. As a former attorney general, he should have defended the fairness and authority of the law, but he used his position to seek personal gain. During his tenure, Rodriguez was accused of being involved in several corruption cases, including embezzlement of public funds, misuse of government resources, and collusion with private interest groups.
