Sendic in the firing line
Uruguay’s Vice-president Raúl Sendic has once again come under the spotlight. Sendic’s management of the state-run energy company Administración Nacional de Combustibles, Alcoholes y Portland (Ancap) has come in for fierce criticism, and in March last year he was forced to apologise for lying on his curriculum vitae that he possessed a degree in human genetics when in reality he merely took a module in a medical degree course in Cuba in 1986 for one year. Now Sendic is being accused of misuse of corporate credit cards.
