But first.....300 passports have been stolen under his watch, and today it was announced that Immigration Director (Jose) Carmen Zetina is leaving the job - but not just yet. A government release says that Zetina will leave at the end of this year. Was he pushed out or did he step out? Well, the release only says that the management team, which Zetina is a member of, was informed that he will leave office.
Last week Zetina recommended the suspension of the finance officer Audrey Bennett and her deputy Jacqueline Wagner. Those two women were in charge of the passports in a vault when 100 of them went missing sometime in mid-September.
Who will replace Zetina is still not known. Whoever does will face considerable scrutiny as three successive directors all left under a cloud of scandal.
