Investigative journalist Alicia Ortega aired on “El Informe de Alicia Ortega” on Channel 9 on 8 May 2017 results of an extensive nine-month investigation into undeclared business dealings by the head of the Metro Office (Opret) in the Dominican Republic, engineer Diandino Peña. The investigations began following the trail of the Panama Papers/ Mossack Fonseca law firm and were carried out together with the Puerto Rico division of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).
In the interview, Peña appears confounded by the focus of the interview on his offshore operations with millionaire transactions that are not declared in his statement of assets made to the state. Peña said he thought he had been invited to speak about the Santo Domingo Metro, the major project that has experienced delays in the completion of the second part of the second line. The program was announced on social media and received outstanding ratings of television audiences.
