TV investigative journalist Nuria Piera has complained after people suspected of working for the state intelligence services raided residences and businesses in search of evidence as to who had leaked her the material that was aired on 31 March to present evidence of irregularities and corruption in transactions related to senator Felix Bautista, organizational secretary of the ruling PLD party.
The controversial senator has denied all accusations. Piera, as reported in Listin Diario, said that if what she presented is not valid, there is no reason for the searches.
On Saturday, 31 March, Nuria Piera presented an investigative report, "The Route of the Millions" with trails of transactions by the senator, who was a struggling tailor prior to becoming a trusted officer in the Fernandez administration. Prior to his election as senator, he was the director of the Supervisory Office of Public Works of the Presidency.
The evidence presented on TV link him to millions in property and to making contributions to Haitian President Michel Martelly. Bautista has also been criticized for receiving millions of dollars worth of contract work in Haiti.
