About Nuria Piera

Born 1960. Nuria Piera is a Dominican journalist, television presenter, lawyer and television producer.

Biography Piera was born in Santo Domingo to immigrants from Spain: her mother was Basque and her father was Catalan. Piera was orphaned at 10 years old when her father, journalist José Enrique Piera Puig, was killed in 1970 by the authoritarian regime of Joaquín Balaguer.

Career In September 2013, a news investigation led by Piera revealed that the Papal Nuncio of Santo Domingo, Józef Wesołowski, whom Pope Francis had dismissed, was not removed from office due to a dispute he held for three years with Puerto Rican Cardinal Roberto González Nieves, as stated in the Italian and Dominican press and as insinuated by the archbishop of Santo Domingo Cardinal Nicolás de Jesús López Rodríguez, but instead due to the consumption of alcoholic beverages in areas of dubious reputation and abuse of children and adolescent males, This emerged as another scandal of pederasty in the Catholic Church.

In 2014, EFE listed her as one of the most influential women in Ibero-America.

In May 2023, human rights organizations Amnesty International and Citizen Lab confirmed that a mobile device belonging to Nuria Piera was targeted by Pegasus spyware at least three times between 2020 and 2021, likely in connection to Piera's investigations of governmental corruption and impunity. This is the first confirmed use of spyware against a journalist in the Dominican Republic.
