SOUND BITES: TAX AGENCY DIRECTOR JUAN FRANCISCO SOLORZANO FOPPA. TRANSLATIONS:I am one hundred percent confident that this is the way it will be. I am a person who has always contributed to justice. I am someone who has strong roots, I do not plan to leave the country. I am willing to continue facing justice as I have done in other cases, it is not the first time that I have been criminalized. So I think that this process has to go through its stages. Personally, I will always defend my innocence. I am convinced that my innocence will be declared in this process and this will lead us to be able to have the moral solvency to tell people that we are here, we are facing justice, we will always do it. And what would correspond would be that. We are at the disposal of the judicial authorities.
