Félix Bautista

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Félix Ramón Bautista Rosario (born 16 June 1963)[1] is a Dominican Republic politician. A member of the Senate of the Dominican Republic since 2010, he previously occupied a number of administrative positions relating to public works.[2] He is also a businessman active in the construction industry, the principal owner of HADOM Construction and Roffy SA.[3]

In March–April 2012, Bautista was accused of corruption, with allegations that during and after the 2010 election he had given Haitian President Michel Martelly $2.6m in bribes to ensure that his company would continue to receive contracts under Martelly's Presidency. Martelly and Bautista both denied the allegations.[4]
