Maximo Castillo Salas, a former president of the Chamber of Accounts, the body in charge of auditing government, says that the government has filed away seven audits that found that government had been defrauded to the tune of RD$3 billion. He listed the following audits where major cases of fraud were detected:
Consorcio Somos and the Central Electoral Board - RD$100 million fraud in 2006.
EdeEste power distributor in 2004 that showed a RD$2.06 billion fraud.
Construction of the La Isabela Airport, fraud worth RD$137 million.
TecSol solar power company with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the Air Force - fraud for RD$3.6 million.
Constructora Ozorio - fraud for RD$100 million.
Ciramar and Las Calderas dockyard, Bani - fraud for RD$232 million.
Castillo says that of all the fraud cases revealed by audits since 2002, the government has only acted in the case of the Plan de Renovacion Vehicular (Plan Renove). He criticized the way in which government had acted selectively in that case, "excluding those responsible, and including innocents."
