Though not the area where equality is desired, Diario Libre explains that female government officials are catching up with men in corruption scandals. Diario Libre writes of the recent case of Doris Altagracia Vargas Nunez, singled out as the person principally responsible for the mafia at the Ministry of Labor that had promised Dominicans work visas to the US and Canada. There is also the case of Falconelis de los Santos Rivas, ex-secretary of the San Cristobal attorney general's office, who is charged with conning 270 persons out of a total RD$30 million with promises of taking them to Spain. In that same case Yirda Pellier de Leon and Lissette Altagracia Perez were accused. Three women were also responsible for the fraud that took place at the Pensions Department where RD$50 million went missing. And in the latest case at the Migration Department at the International Airport of the Americas (AILA) a woman, Fabiola Henriquez Herrera, is the prime suspect of the theft of RD1.6 million and US$4,800.
