The TSC has finally released the audit report to the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office revealing funds stolen from the Honduran Social Investment Fund (FHIS).
According to that report, the then-president, Zelaya would have wasted 30 million lempiras on advertising for the illegal fourth vote. They are challenging the disbursement of two unjustified removal of funds for “emergency purposes” by the former President Manuel Zelaya. The first one, that took the 30 million lempiras from the FHIS, and the second, ordering that this amount be transferred to the Office of the President.
Both agreements were issued on September 30, 2008, and are signed by Manuel Zelaya and the former Minister of the Presidency, Enrique Flores. The TSC reported that there is evidence for criminal liability in this case, so it was decided that they would send the report to the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor to proceed with charges against those involved.
“As there was criminal action, I referred it to the Prosecutor to continue the research process,” said Moses Lee, executive director of TSC.
The criminal responsibility should fall “against persons who have been involved in this process, both perpetrator and acquiescent”, he said.
He suggested that also under consideration for prosecution, should be those who signed the emergency order, and those who authorized the payments, as well as those paid for advertising services that were not provided.
The classification of crimes will be confirmed by the Prosecution.

This is why z’liar wants back in so badly…… to collect the lempiras that he stole and stashed away.
I would bet money that in the “negociations” that he will propose that he be re-instated one day before the elections so that it will look “legal” to the international community….. but his real motive will be to get all the money that he stole from the Honduras people, and stashed away somewhere.
Stay STRONG Honduras……
Stay STRONG Micheletti…..
ONLY 32 more days until the free elections of the people of Honduras……..

I am afraid his intentions all along have been to prevent the November 29th election, both when he held office and since. Don’t be surprised if the action is ramped up now to do everything possible to derail the election since that was always the goal. You don’t need a second term if there is no successor. People point out that had he succeeded in holding the opinion poll, that it could not have changed the constitution in time to provide him with a second term. Yes that is true, but it was easier to just spend the money on other things instead of holding the election.

Zelaya’s monetary debt with Honduras should now include all the aid money that we have not recieved as consequence of his ploy to stay in power indefinetely.
Zelaya’s debt with Honduras carries blood already, it also comprhends the poor eduction that many children are receiving because of all the leftist teachers that support his move.
It also should include all the false hopes and expectations he created when he offered an unafordable minimun wage increase of 60% +.
Zelaya has done so much damage to Honduras that it is most reminiscent of events hapenning in African countries, where behaving as barbarians has become the norm and there is no hope for most people, Honduras was never even close to that, and now, thanks to Zelaya, our people starve and suffer.
