Attorney General Mariano Germán Mejía gave due course to the case against the Central Electoral Board presented by lawyer Marino Vinicio Castillo. Castillo is questioning the whereabouts of 37 equipment determined missing by an audit carried out by CAPEL, an affiliate of the Organization of American States. The JCE has said that only 17 equipment are missing. The others were either in repair shops or were at the JCE. Attorney General Germán sent the claim to the attention of Justo Pedro Castellanos, who is the director of the Department of Prevention of Corruption of the government. Several claims of corruption have been sent to this department that has yet to establish any fault with any government officer or department.
