Santo Domingo.- The Office of the Prosecutor will question Senate president Reinaldo Pared starting noon Thursday, in connection with the case of Odebrecht’s admitted US$92.0 million bribes to Dominican government officials from 2001 to 2014.

The lawmaker on Wednesday said he has nothing to hide in his work as a senator and said he was awaiting the subpoena.
