“The Recinos Sisters (about Carolina Recinos, the current Chief of Staff of Najib Boukil’s government) do not appear on that list, check. Why not create a committee to determine the origin of the money and how it was managed in Alba Petroleos? How many people have received millions from Alba Petróleos?” Chicas said in The end of her appearance in the Special Committee “It is a proposal, there are government officials who have received millions from Alba Petroleos, and that would be a good contribution to the Salvadoran people.”
