Sonora: 29 Cops Dismissed for Failure to Report Assets
 Google TranslateFailure to report assets under the law is the reason why officials in Hermosillo, Sonora have fired 29 cops, according to the Mexican daily El Imparcial. Under current law, police are required to annually update their personal holdings to the city comptroller by June or face dismissal. 27 officers were fired outright while two others have appealed their cases. Article 94 of the Law of Responsibilities of Public Servants is the law that requires the diligence the officers failed. "After a data processing it was found that there were a number of people who had omitted their presentation, they were summoned to explain the reason, some went without explaining why they did not and others are not even presented," said the Hermosillo city comptroller Ariel De la Puente Aguilar. About 40% of public servants are composed of municipal officers and administrative staff of Public Safety who must declare the goods they hold by June 30th, according to the official. About 60 cases of omissions have been recorded in the current year, higher than before out of a total of 2,515 required under the current law. The number of 60 is about 12 times higher than in previous years. Posted by: badanov 2010-07-10 |
