The Fernandez administration has dismissed the director of the Ground Transport Office (OTTT), Franklin Beltre Cabral. An investigative report by TV journalist Nuria Piera broadcast in February presented proof of widespread corruption in his management of the OTTT. The Executive Branch announced that he would be replaced by engineer Angel Maria Segura, former director of transport at the Santo Domingo municipality. During the TV report, Piera confronted Beltre with evidence that his payroll included several members of his family, as well as friends. Beltre candidly confirmed these accusations. The journalist also questioned the source of funding of a US$60,000 vehicle, when his salary was RD$70,000.
During the interview he admitted that when he took office 433 people were on the payroll, while now there are more than 2,000.
