Disgraced Baninter President Ramon Baez Figueroa, in jail awaiting his trial for massive fraud charges, has said that he is being blamed for everything from the price surges to last September’s earthquake in the north of the country. “I would say that I have even increased the price of flour, not to mention caused the Santiago earthquake, even though that’s an atmospheric thing, but I have been blamed for that, too.” He added that he hoped the matter would be clarified “in time”, in reply to questions from reporters as he made his way to the court for his latest bail application. Baez Figueroa has maintained complete silence on the issue since his arrest in May, and all public statements have been issued through his legal team. A decision on the former banker’s bail application is due on Friday.
