The General Administration of the low-cost diners (Comedores Economicos) is under the spotlight of the National Department for the Prevention of Corruption (DPCA-formerly Depreco) that looks into irregularities in the contracts for suppliers.
According to Diario Libre, a team of investigators from DPCA, headed by an assistant prosecutor from the Santo Domingo Court assigned to the Attorney General's office, visited the government institution looking for documents.
At the same time, an auditor visited the low-cost diners to verify the handling of the accounts of the program headed by Cesar Lopez. According to reports, the DPCA has asked for a list of suppliers and a list of personnel. The DPCA also wants to find out how the money is spent and the procedures for procuring food supplies.
The investigation was initiated by DPCA chief Octavio Lister after complaints about irregularities.
