General Comptroller´s office will not investigate allegations of Assemblyman Andres Paez
The General Comptroller´s office indicated it will not investigate the alleged 27 banking transactions of more than $ 22 million that would have been sent from Hong Kong and Panama institutions to two people in the country, submitted by Assemblyman Andrés Páez.
The institution said in a statement that it is not a duty of this entity to “determine or not the existence of financial institutions … and much less the ones who are the holders or authorized signatures of allegedly existing accounts.”
Furthermore, it was indicated that the Comptroller´s office performs the monitoring of “the use of State resources and public officials, but not to private entities or bank entities of the country or abroad.”
The comptroller also argued that the received orders must have the responsibility signature that sustains them, according to the regulations of the Comptroller complaints.
