GOB Will Sue Jose Coye & Florencio Marin Sr.
posted (January 12, 2009)

On Friday you heard former Caribbean Shores Area Representative Jose Coye saying that he felt vindicated after cautions were removed from 57 lost in the West Landivar area that he had helped secure for a private development. Well, he may have spoken to soon. According to a late evening government release, Coye was, “personally involved in causing government to receive only four thousand dollars per lot...while purchasers were paying between forty to sixty thousand dollars per lot.”

The release explains that the cautions were removed not because Coye is in the clear, but because those who purchased the lands were innocent of wrongdoing. And the release continues to say that the Ministry will now pursue civil suits against Coye and former Lands Minister Florencio Marin Sr.
