The Central Electoral Board (JCE) says that it has detected irregularities in 2,416 cedulas issued between 1994 and 1997. The JCE believes that the cedulas correspond to 442 Chinese, 331 Italians, 316 Germans, 254 Americans, 162 Spaniards, 133 Cubans, 93 Colombians, 82 Haitians and 77 Swiss. The JCE specifies that "irregular" cedulas were recorded in books 60001, 606950, 625001, 630850, 590001, 599975, 62826 and 625000.
In related news, officials have arrested Reynaldo Melchor Alcantara Pozo for the forging and sale of irregularly-issued birth certificates. When Alcantara was arrested by officials from the National Investigation Department (DNI) he was in possession of nine Haitian passports, 45 late birth declarations, a fake cedula and a fake Navy ID card. Officials believe he is the ringleader of a powerful gang that falsified documents and birth certificates. The announcement is another of several that have been made after the new JCE authorities began a purge of the civil registry. Investigations have shown that several civil registry offices were lax in allowing officers to irregularly issue official documents. Several of the irregularities have shown up when the benefited individuals have requested copies of the documents that are now being screened by a new set of civil registry officers as part of a major nationwide revamping of the civil registration system.
