"The corrupt are still making use of every loophole they see to plunder the country, and
this is evidenced by the rumors of leaks and even confirmations of the exploitation of citizens' passports without their knowledge to earn foreign currency." (The dollar) that the government sells at the official rate, so that money gangs can seize it and sell it at the black market price.” He pointed out that
"we have been informed that there are banking companies, in collusion with tourism companies, that have earned huge sums of money in the names of citizens who have not traveled,"
expressing his astonishment at "the slowness of legal deterrence that makes those concerned face the responsibility of performing their duty."
