The Attorney General’s Office has initiated a preliminary investigation against officials yet to be determined of the National Unit for Disaster Risk Management (UNGRD), in relation to possible irregularities in the contracts signed to address the emergency derived from the winter wave that affected the country at the end of 2022.
