PLD party urges members to ignore requests of Corruption Department head

The political committee of the PLD said it is instructing former government officers to ignore the requests of Dr. Jesus Feliz, assistant of the Attorney General and in charge of the Corruption Prevention Department of the government that they visit that office for questioning. In a paid advertisement in local newspapers, the PLD says that Dr. Felix does not have legal authority to order former government officers to visit his department. The PLD political committee recommends that the corruption department document the cases and then send these to the judiciary, using the appropriate channels. The PLD says that the actions of the department head so far have been intended to taint the reputation of the Fernández government.
