Distrito Nacional, Dominican Republic May 22, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Salvador Catrain Calderón, a Dominican attorney and the son of the Vice President of the Dominican Republic Senate, is now the named defendant in a fraud lawsuit filed in the New York Supreme Court after his own civil suit in the U.S. was dismissed with prejudice by a federal judge.
The new lawsuit, filed by William Matthew Hawk and José Dalby Contreras, centers on a promissory note that Catrain submitted in a Florida lawsuit, claiming it was signed in Santo Domingo on June 11, 2021. However, Dominican immigration records confirm that neither plaintiff was in the country on that date.
A certified U.S. forensic handwriting expert has concluded that the witness signature on the note was forged.
When this date discrepancy was raised, Catrain submitted supplemental affidavits signed by his wife and business associates, attempting to legitimize the document. The new lawsuit alleges that those affidavits were digitally altered, with metadata indicating they were created or edited well after the fact.
The plaintiffs assert that these actions constitute fraud, submission of falsified evidence, and abuse of judicial process, and they are seeking recovery of legal fees incurred defending the original Florida case.
Judge Robert N. Scola Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida dismissed Catrains original case with prejudice, meaning he cannot refile the same claims.
Key exhibits filed with the New York complaint include:
- A notarized promissory note with a forged witness signature
- Expert handwriting analysis
- Dominican government migration records
- Affidavits with metadata supporting digital manipulation
The case is active in New York Supreme Court (Index 652981/2025)
