Santo Domingo.- Stoked by media criticism for failing to resign after denouncing the lack of support by the Leonel Fernandez Administration against corrupt government officials, Anticorruption Department (DPCA) director Hotoniel Bonilla keeps mum on the cases of irregularities that he investigates.

And though he pledged to divulge the status of each of the pending cases in the first three months this year, newspaper Caribe reports that to avoid the press his secretary always says that he’s busy.

Among the DPCA’s pending cases is the alleged malfeasance by Héctor Rodriguez Pimentel in the canals and dams agency (Indrhi), which led Bonilla to call him “pathologically corrupt,” the irregularities in industrial development agency Promypime, the millions allegedly swiped by Altagracia province senator Amable Aristy in the Dominican Municipal League, corruption in several city councils and in the Senate and Chamber of Deputies employee cooperatives.
