No decision in OPTIC case

Executive Branch legal consultant and member of the Directing Council of the Ethics Commission, Cesar Pina Toribio, has admitted that the authorities have no information to present regarding the alleged abnormalities in the tender called by the Presidential Office on Information Technology and Communications for a Dominican Government website. This comes one month and ten days after the investigation began. The team that is investigating the allegedly over-valued tender is led by Octavio Lister, Director of the Corruption Prevention Department. Other members of the team are Celso Marranzini, Omar Caamano, and Ramon Tejada Holguin. Diario Libre learned that they were due to have presented their results last week.
