Santo Domingo.- Presidency chief of staff, Lisandro Macarrulla, denounced Monday that he’s being the object of a systematic campaign of defamation and slander, through false accusations, to involve his family’s company in alled fraud and ballooned costs linked to the construction of the new prison at La Victoria.

Willing to submit to scrutiny
