This is a link to the report by award winning investigative journalist Nuria Piera on nepotism in the Land Transport Department (OTTT).
Nuria
It makes for fascinating viewing, even by Nuria standards. The interviews with the director are - to say the least - an interesting glimpse into the entrenched mindset of corruption. He doesn't really deny anthing, because he feels it is normal, yet his body language and expressions show that on some level he knows it's wrong, or at least that having it aired publicly is Not A Good Thing. That's my interpretation anyway.
The whole notion of the motoconcho division and its vast payroll is pure comedy - even a Ukrainian satirical journalist couldn't make it up.
Personally I thought Nuria came down too strongly on him about his personal assets which are not as excessive - although his reaction to the questions about the military personnel guarding his empty property was illuminating - "?quien me va pagar mi vida?" - and she should have focused entirely on the nepotism - but watch the way she fires those questions at him - her courage as an investigative journalist is awe-inspiring.
