SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico,
Sept. 19, 2014
/PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following today's trial in the
Doral Financial Corporation v. Hacienda court case, Doral Legal
Counsel Matthew D. McGill issued the
following statement:
"For four months, Doral has been waiting for Hacienda to explain
its attempt to nullify its $230
million debt to Doral. Hacienda claimed that Doral
obtained its 2012 tax agreement through a fraud, but after two days
of trial, including testimony from Secretary Melba Acosta Febo herself, Hacienda has come
forward with no evidence supporting that outrageous
accusation. When this case is over, the people of
Puerto Rico will have to ask
whether they were well served by their government's unfounded
attack on one of Puerto Rico's few
remaining banks."
"Por los pasados cuatro meses, Doral ha estado en espera que
Hacienda provea una explicacion acerca de su intento de anular su
deuda de $230 millones con Doral.
Hacienda alego que Doral obtuvo su acuerdo del 2012 mediante
fraude, pero luego de dos dias de juicio, incluyendo testimonio de
la propia secretaria de Hacienda, Melba
Acosta Febo, Hacienda no ha podido presentar evidencia que
apoye esta acusacion atroz. Cuando este caso llegue a su fin, el
pueblo de Puerto Rico tendra la
oportunidad de evaluar si fueron bien servidos por este gobierno
ante su ataque infundado en contra de uno de los pocos bancos
restantes de Puerto Rico."
