The Central Electoral Board (JCE) and its Forged Identities investigating Commission have announced that the situation facing the electoral tribunal is so severe that even evangelical pastors have been involved in the production of fake identification papers leading to the issuing of fake "cedulas", the national identification card. According to Listin Diario, magistrate John Giuliani Valenzuela said that the pastors gave false birth certificates to people who had never been officially registered, to help them obtain the "cedula". He said that his office is working on thousands of forgery cases, mostly involving Dominican citizens who have gone to live in other countries and subsequently returned. Upon their return they are required to produce their "cedulas", but to their surprise, these have been forged and given to some other person. Anyone found to have falsified these documents is liable to jail terms, according to the magistrate.
