Moreover, counsel Francisca Ortega, daughter of uniform, was sent to Haiti, Chile and the salary received from the UN and was paid a postgraduate. In addition, Ortega would have hired her as a housekeeper through the club Field of the Air Force.
In late October, a person came to the Comptroller and made a presentation, asking not to be named specifically. Thereafter, due to the gravity of what is revealed, the watchdog launched an investigation to establish the veracity of the facts.

In this regard, the Comptroller's various opinions are expressly prohibited housekeeper there under the institution.
New headache for Defense
Concern spread in the air force when this newspaper made inquiries. Mainly because Rojas has just taken place and one of the first achievements of his administration is doing "cleanup" and dictate and control procedures to prevent malfunctions of this nature.
Ortega's case is part of the battery Comptroller reports that fall on the armed forces, which began in January with the resignation of Defense Minister Jaime Ravinet , as the resignation of former head of the Joint Chiefs Christian Le Dantec due to the controversy generated by the attempt to buy a house for $ 1 million and former minister's refusal to transparent details of the acquisition of a mechanical bridge .
To this are added the administrative anomalies detected by the watchdog in the Navy, in the race Bicentennial.
