Polish judicial authorities on Friday notified Dominican Republic?s Justice Ministry on the monetary compensation from the conviction of Wojciech Gil (Padre Alberto), whose sexual abuse victims hail from the highland town of Juncalito (central).

The local authorities were notified through a statement from the International Legal Cooperation Dept of Warsaw Province Office of the Prosecutor.

Once notified Santiago Judicial District prosecutor Luisa Liranzo met with the victims’ representatives to discuss the details of how to receive their compensation.

In March a Polish court convicted the former priest to seven years in prison and pay damages to the victims.
