The Office of the Public Auditor allegedly caught Department of Corrections director Gregory Castro using a Corrections vehicle to go to the Marianas Country Club last week and play golf. <\/p>\n
OPA impounded the unmarked vehicle and cited Castro for misuse of a government vehicle, according to multiple sources at OPA and the Department of Public Safety. <\/p>\n
Saipan Tribune contacted Castro and acting Corrections commissioner Lino Tenorio yesterday for comments, but they had yet to reply as of press time.<\/p>\n
Sources said that during OPA\u2019s surveillance, they saw Castro on a Corrections vehicle issued to him driving toward the Marianas Country Club, where he played golf last week, Wednesday, in the morning office hours. <\/p>\n
Sources said the surveillance was initiated after Castro was allegedly seen using the car whenever he played golf at the same golf course.<\/p>\n
The case, however, is traffic and not a criminal matter, sources said. <\/p>\n
Castro\u2019s court appearance will be in the last part of May, sources added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
