Attorney General of the Republic Francisco Dominguez Brito says that the DPCA, the office to fight administrative corruption, has been merged with Attorney General Office and will operate as a specialized prosecutorial branch. Other specialized units including the Pursuit of Corruption, Money Laundering and Trafficking of Persons and even the Prosecutor for the Environment will become specialized investigative prosecutors offices.
The DPCA and the former Depreco were created during the Leonel Fernandez administration to fight administrative corruption. But these offices eight years later can show very little successes, with the country being ranked tops in the world in administrative corruption.
