Attorney General Francisco Dominguez Brito said there are corruption cases that have been stalled in the courts and yet others that have not been indicted, but he warned that the will of the Justice Department is that none of them should remain unpunished, no matter who the accused may be. Listin Diario reports that according to the AG, all sectors of society must play their role in a responsible manner and the cases before the courts must receive appropriate punishment. Dominguez Brito was speaking during the anniversary function of Institutionality and Justice Foundation (FINJUS). In Santiago, the AG had said he was not pleased with the treatment given by the courts in many administrative corruption cases and said that the situation must be tackled more strongly and with stronger punishments. He specifically mentioned his displeasure about the cases of Deputy Ramos Garcia, the greenhouses, and Plan Renove.
Hoy reports that the AG stated that corruption has no party colors, and that neither should the fight against it. He added that all officials of this or previous administrations who have acted incorrectly should be sent to court.
