Wheres the RD$2.0 billion?
The Department for the Prevention of Corruption is looking for RD$2.0 billion in bonds used by the CDEEE. They are also looking at overpriced military hardware. DEPRECO chief Octavio Lister told Diario Libre reporters that his prosecutors are investigating a RD$12 million purchase of munitions for the National Police. They are currently studying the files and have yet to begin questioning people. However, the CDEEE case is so complex that he and his assistant director are handling the case personally. The irregular purchase of some helicopters is also on the DEPRECO agenda. This involves a supposed US$12 million dollar purchase that ended up costing US$67 million.
