Government Removes Zelaya's Perks
Aside from canceling all of Zelaya's government backed credit cards (before which, he had spent 80,000 dollars in less than five days), terminated also was the leasing of 50 luxury vehicles and 61 cellular phones with a credit of over 47,500 lempiras, and over 100 bank accounts, all backed by Honduran government funds.
The chancellor of Honduras confirmed that Mel Zelaya ordered the withdrawal of 40 million lempiras from the Central Bank of Honduras. When the investigations were made at the presidential house, black garbage bags filled with thousands and thousands of dollars were found, as well as in almost every drawer.| Did they find any in the freezer? There's precedent for that. |
| It's the tropics. I'd look in the coconuts ... |
Investigations documented over 600 million lempiras worth of expenditures that Zelaya had spent on his quest to hold the "opinion poll" to allow the fourth vote.
| Now they know where the country's budget went. |
