The executive director of Participación Ciudadana (PC), Rosalía Sosa, is calling on everyone to join in the “Anti Impunity March” set for Sunday, 22 January. The march has been organized in demand of a thorough investigation and to call for all involved in the Odebrecht corruption scandal to be given a fair trial. In that case, a New York court ruled that Odebrecht had paid US$92 million in bribes to obtain US$163 million worth of construction contracts.
Sosa said that the cases of the Punta Catalina power plant, the Super Tucano aircraft and the claims of overvaluation of the renovation at the Darío Contreras Hospital should also be investigated as well as the bribes. She added that the Attorney General Office had been very slow in fulfilling its role of bringing the cases to the judiciary.
“Our institution has established our position that we want firm action because it appears that the Public Ministry took off for vacation in December,” said Sosa, when interviewed on the La Super 7 en la Mañana program on 107.7 FM.
