Legal advisor to the President, Guido Gomez Mazara, announced the firing of Victor Tio Fernandez for a scam involving his department in an alleged irregular sale of government property at the Avenida Charles De Gaulle. Also fired were: Jose Manuel Peña, in charge of auctions; Sandino Grullon, head of the Region II of the Land Deeds Plan; and Freddy Vargas, supervisor of Bienes Nacionales. Gomez said they will be brought to justice for falsification and destruction of official documents and other charges. The Attorney General’s office published an advertisement today in the press listing the irregularities found at the department. The report confirms the lack of internal controls at Bienes Nacionales.
