Twitter threat to corruption investigator
AN ANTI-CORRUPTION prosecutor and her family Monday have been threatened on social media.
The threat to First AntiCorruption Prosecutor Tania Sterling, came via a Twitter message to her brother television communicator and actor Roland Sterling.
Sterling said the message which was later erased stated: “Someday your family will cry for the wickedness your sister sows in using prosecution for revenge.”
The author of the tweet is a user who identifies himself as raulmallorca00.
Rolando Sterling responded to the user and copied the message to the National Police and the Attorney General’s Office.
The prosecutor is investigating a number of cases related to the former administration and to ex-president Ricardo Martinelli and members of his inner circle including irregularities in the National Assistance Program (PAN) and, more recently,irregularities in a loan granted by Caja de Ahorros to the consortium constructing the unfinished Amador Convention Center
