El Caribe reports that a high-level government official, whose name
was withheld by both the Attorney General and the Director of the
Anti-Corruption Department (DEPRECO) is being investigated for
corruption. The official allegedly incurred in bribery related to his
position. AG Francisco Dominguez Brito said he had no details to
offer regarding the case as he evaded questions regarding the
interrogation of the official. He also refused to give the
individual’s name. DEPRECO Director Octavio Lister, who also withheld
the individual’s name and department, said that investigations are
advanced but the name could not be disclosed because the evidence is
not conclusive.
