And while the Credit Union is moving on operationally, reputationally, it's still caught up in a stop of political tangle with area rep Osmond Martinez. The special investigation at the Credit Union is where red flags were raised on disbursements initiated by Osmond Martinez when he was CEO of Economic Development. The auditor said there was no source of funds, which Martinez strongly denies. But, while transactions were processed at the credit union without the proper source of funds - he says that is a failing at their end - and said his one time friend, the general manager Leopoldo Romero had the proof on his medal to show the auditor and he didn't - so that makes him - in Martinez's mind - a Judas:...
Osmond Martinez, Minister of State - Economic Transformation
"Osmond Martinez has nothing to do with the internal affairs of the credit union and the general manager and everyone else within the management system should be hold accountable not only for that accepting, accepting documents that were incomplete, but also of the many other transactions that were done."
"I mean, so that's a total nonsense, an excuse on behalf of a credit union of which he highlighted that I have been supporting so many times to try to get external funding for them. That's why I'm saying this is a story of similar to Jesus Christ and Judas."
Leopoldo Romero, General Manager, Toledo Teachers Credit Union
"So when he labelled me, I was not too happy about that. And I can tell him that I have nothing against Dr. Osmond Martinez. I am not even involved in politics. So he should have cleared the air by accepting that these things came in the wrong way and the wrong company."
"How will I put money from Savannah's construction into Allan's construction that is not even registered? Express construction owned by the wife with false address. I have mentioned that before. And so looking at that situation, we had to close the accounts and then stop doing business with them."
