The District Prosecutor for the National District says that the Armed Forces and National Police need to be stricter in their screening of candidates for new recruits. Alejandro Moscoso Segarra told reporters from El Caribe, "I think that they have to be more rigorous at the moment of recruiting new members of the Armed Forces and the National Police."
Moscoso spoke to the press after inaugurating the pressroom at the Prosecutor's office in the National District, named for journalist Miguel Angel Reynoso Solis.
He also called for continued cleansing of the rank and file of the armed forces and the National Police. He said, "there has to be a clean up of these institutions and there has to be a more rigorous screening process of the members of both organizations." Moscoso Segarra's statements come at a time when, according to the police, an Air Force major, Jose Luis Vargas Cuello is accused of being the ringleader of the raid on the Parmalat milk processing facility last Thursday night.
According to El Caribe, several people, including an Air Force officer, a Police officer and a civilian, are involved in the crime.
Moreover, the District Prosecutor said that in the Justice Department it is easy to find out when one of its members participates in a crime, unlike the case with Police or Armed Forces personnel. Moscoso said "These institutions have to be screened and cleaned up, obviously in the Justice Department with 800 workers, and then it is very easy to determine when someone in the department commits an irregularity."
