It seems like the LTP Verband S.A. trash collection company has just upped and disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving behind no clues. The refuse collection company's business address is nowhere to be found and it appears that the phone number they gave the Tax Department (DGII) isn't real either. When a call is placed to that number the response is from Leo Comercial de la Luisa, in Monte Plata. LTP was recently awarded a 20-year contract to collect trash in Boca Chica. Diario Libre writes that LTP's address was given as R No. 5 de Bajos de Haina, San Cristobal, but that this address cannot be verified because there are a number of streets with this very same name in San Cristobal. And adding to the confusion is the fact that the address that appears on the final contract signed, La Primera Calle No 377 del Ensanche Isabelita doesn't exist either. Yesterday, company president Alvaro Leger Alvarez refused to comment on the case, saying that he would give details about the company in a press conference today. Interestingly enough, Diario Libre writes that LTP was given the trash collection contract 17 days before they were officially incorporated as a company and seven days after Jocelyn Pena, Boca Chica's mayor, took office. Alvaro Leger's father, Jose Osvaldo Leger, known for his PRSC political party activism, denied any involvement with his son's activities or with the trash contract.
