Rubiela Pitano the former director of the National Disability Secretariat (Senadis), linked to the mishandling of returns in the National Assembly was charged with forgery and placed under country arrest by a judge of guarantees on Tuesday, August 6.

In the same case, Rubén De León the former president of the National Assembly  failed to appear

Prosecutor Adecio Mojica said the investigation is complex and several checks appeared in the bank accounts of Pitano, which are in the name of another person, a niece who was on the Assembly's payroll, as an administrative assistant while De León was president.

 He is attempting to wriggle out of being investigated as he has been elected to the Central American  Parliament (Parlacen,) famously named as “a den of thieves” where he is scheduled to take his seat in September.
