The CREO-SUMA alliance, supported by 59 opposition signatures, yesterday officially demanded a trial against Vice President Jorge Glas, accused of alleged embezzlement, bribery, and illicit enrichment.
The request for an interpellation against Glas was filed on the same day the Audit Commission approved a reasoned report that recommended initiating the political trial of former Comptroller General Carlos Pólit.
Roberto Gómez, president of the CREO-SUMA bloc, explained that the request for trial is based on three criminal trials that are being processed in ordinary courts, where two have received a sentence for embezzlement and illicit enrichment, and one is under investigation for bribery. (I)
