Prosecuting power thieves

[NewsWhore]

The government will begin prosecuting people who are caught stealing power in February. Energy Superintendent Francisco Mendez says that the government plans to implement Law 186-07 in a bid to reduce losses in the electricity sector. The law against electricity theft, which was passed in late 2007, has never been implemented.

The event is taking place on 29-30 January at the InterContinental V Centenario Hotel in Santo Domingo.
