An arrest warrant has been issued for the person accused of heading the "mafia" at the Pensions Department that was defrauding the government of millions of pesos. A name has not been provided. Octavio Lister, head of the government's anti-corruption department Depreco, said that the warrant was issued because the former head of the Pensions Department has been refusing to cooperate and appear in front of the Public Ministry. But the problem now is finding his whereabouts. Lister says that up to this point authorities have no clue where this person is and says that if he can't be located and brought to justice, judgment for the persons they do have in custody will temporarily have to suffice. Lister explained that 18 people had been fired in connection with the case, although 23 were interviewed in total. Earlier this week the Finance Minister blasted the work of the Justice system and Depreco saying that he had done his job by discovering the fraud but that the justice system had been slow in prosecuting those responsible.
