Hoy quotes the Miami Herald’s coverage of the case known as Pepegate. The US newspaper speculates that the scandal may never be brought to justice due to the secrets that could be uncovered as a result. Under the headline of ?Someone Writes to the Colonel?, the Miami Herald describes Colonel Julio (Pepe) Goico?s career and the current charges against him. It also tells of his populist decision a couple of years ago whereby he ordered that the National Palace spotlights to be turned off at night as a gesture designed to acknowledge the energy crisis that affects all Dominicans. This image is in stark contrast to the role he allegedly played in the US$2-million+ case of fraud.
