The Dominican Alliance Against Corruption (Adocco) and the civic movement "Toy Jarto" (I'm Fed Up") have submitted a request to the Chamber of Deputies calling for senator and former president of the Dominican Municipal League, Amable Aristy Castro to be put on political trial for alleged irregularities. They base their request on an audit by the Chamber of Accounts in 2006. The findings of the audit were again revealed on the Alicia Ortega TV program.
Upon delivering the request, Julio Cesar de la Rosa Tiburcio, director of Adocco, and Elizabeth Mateo, spokesperson for Toy Jarto, expressed hopes that the Chamber of Deputies would appoint a commission next week to study the accusations that could lead to a political case against Aristy Castro in the Senate.
Writing in Hoy today, news commentator Jose Baez Guerrero calls for an end to "so much niceties." He calls for justice to act. The audit revealed a sampling of what could have been occurring throughout Aristy Castro's 12 years at the helm of the Dominican Municipal League that manages funds for city governments nationwide. He said that the figures for one year showed that Aristy Castro had funneled RD$116 million of the LMD funds for personal expenditures. The Chamber of Accounts revealed that the LMD spent RD$317,808.22 a day on average (including Saturdays and Sundays) on Aristy's personal expenses.
