The Least Transparent FCB Members

Since the Fiscal Control Board (FCB) was imposed by PROMESA to manage Puerto Rico's finances over a year ago, some of their members and employees have never disclosed their financial information.

The only ones who have fully complied with the reporting requirements are Ana Matosantos and the Board's executive director, Natalie Jaresko.

Section 109 of PROMESA reads: 'Regardless of any ethical provisions applicable to the employees of the covered territory, all members and staff of the Financial Oversight Board will be subject to federal conflict of interest and financial disclosure requirements under 18 U.S.C. 208 of the Code of Laws of the United States,' which means they have to disclose their finances.

Some days ago(Thursday), the FCB reported that the financial documents of their members had been updated up to December of 2016. The initial reports only covered up to August of 2016.

Members who have remained silent:

1- José Carrión III, FCB chairman
