Dominican Republic - President's Wife Seeks Prosecution of TV Commentator - NYTimes.com Margarita Cedeño, who is married to the president of the Dominican Republic and is running for vice president, filed a criminal complaint on Tuesday charging that a television commentator falsified documents to support his claim that she had millions of dollars in an overseas bank. Her lawyer, Luis Miguel Pereyra, said he filed the complaint against the commentator, Marcos Martínez, because it would carry a harsher penalty than a civil lawsuit. On Feb. 15, Mr. Martínez, a former lawmaker, said during a telecast that Ms. Cedeño, who is married to President Leonel Fernández, had $58 million in Danske Bank of Denmark. He later claimed the amount actually was nearly $96 million. "All the documents are there," he said last week, adding, "I will not recant."
