His former employees were summoned to testify in the case against him for illicit enrichment: six drivers, a former private secretary, a receptionist and a Head of Protocol all talked about their experiences under López. Ever wished that the job description had been clearer before you even applied? Although many of these are random, the implications could be huge and serve to add to the image of López who used state resources for his own personal ends. The testimonies also show the close links between López and the convent where he tried to hide the US$9 million. Between fixing the Mother Superior’s wheelchair and one driver taking López and former Planning Minister Julio de Vido to the convent with both their wives it is clear that the former official’s ties to the institution ran deep.
