Fifer -detenido since February past- is being investigated by the employer fees retention workers. On Monday, Judge Herrera Albelis Fifer favored a change of injunction and granted barred from leaving the country. The action was appealed by the prosecutor Sixth Anticorruption, Aurelio Vasquez.
Herrera judge based his decision on the allegations of Thomas Góndola lawyer Fifer, who said his client is promoting a payment arrangement with the CSS.
Deputy Director of Legal Services of the CSS, Humberto Osorio said on Tuesday, August 23, at a press conference that respects the decision of the judge, "but does not share". He added that the CSS will appeal the injunction granted, since no records certifying that the companies represented by Fifer have made payment arrangements "established for these cases."
"It's the power of executing judge accept the payment arrangement and to date there is no such arrangement for any employer is required from 15% to 30% of the debt and given a period of 24 to 48 months to pay, but no of the two circumstances he has been "noted Osorio.
The official recommended Fifer agree a settlement of at least 20% of the debt.
Last week, Fifer published a notice in the media, which publicly asked the executing judge Cocle Analida Torres and CSS to determine "exactly the amount they owe their companies" to state institutions.
