Patricia Alejandra Padilla Rosario

Patricia Alejandra Padilla Rosario is a judge in the Dominican Republic, currently presiding over the Segundo Juzgado de la Instrucción del Distrito Nacional. She recently made headlines for her controversial decision to order the Ministry of Public to pay over RD$7.5 million to Juan Francisco Álvarez Carbuccia, an individual implicated in a significant corruption case involving the Instituto Nacional de Tránsito y Transporte Terrestre (Intrant). This ruling has drawn criticism from prosecutors, who argue that it was made despite her being no longer assigned to the case and claim that it reflects serious procedural errors.
