The PRD has filed a formal complaint against the director of the Office of Supervising Engineers for State Public Works, Felix Bautista. The complaint presented to the District Attorney of the National District, accused Bautista of abuse of confidence and violation of the Constitution and Law 6-06 on Public Credit. All this revolves around the US$130 million in IOUs signed by Bautista for the Sun Land Corporation for ten public works projects that were not completed. PRD officials Orlando Jorge Mera and Ramon Alburquerque took the case to court. The accusation also requests that the authorities question President Leonel Fernandez about the case. While there are definite political aspects to the case, the fact that the entire US$130 million process has never been cleared up in a transparent fashion will undoubtedly attract a lot of attention if the case comes to trial.
Bautista is a prominent director of the Leonel Fernandez presidential campaign.
