The Minister of Public Works and Transportation, Romeo Herrera, alongside the Attorney General’s Office (FGR), held a press conference at the Plaza SOHO branch of the Vice Ministry of Transportation (VMT) to unveil a widespread corruption network. This scheme involved driving schools, testing companies, and VMT employees who engaged in illegal activities to profit from the issuance of driver’s licenses.
Following reports from the Ministry of Public Works and the VMT, the FGR launched an investigation that revealed the operation’s scale. Through coordinated efforts with the National Civil Police (PNC) and the use of specialized investigative techniques, authorities determined that the network operated around SERTRACEN facilities in San Miguel. The corrupt entities offered to alter failed driving test results for prices ranging from $800 to $1,000, allowing individuals to bypass the legal requirements for obtaining a driver’s license.
