Nuria : "I am overseas on family issues"

SANTO DOMINGO. Because of the rumors regarding her trip, the investigative journalist Nuria Piera has been forced to clear up the fact that she has not been threatened and that she left the country on family business. All this was put up on her Twitter account.

"Hola! Thanks for all the support received. I want to make it clear that I am outside the country for family reasons. I have not been threatened by anyone!" she wrote yesterday on Twitter for her 146,253 followers.

On Saturday night the producer of the Saturday program of investigative journalism placed a video on Youtube in which she explained that she had not used by any party for the publication two weeks ago of the relations between the PLD senator Felix Bautista and the Haitian President Michel Martelly.

She said, nevertheless, that she cannot talk more about this information, which has been verified. "My source is safe. The documentation is more than correct and verified by us. What happened? That I cannot talk more about this because I am placing the life of that person who had the valor of giving me those documents in danger."

She said that the government "spin doctors" have attacked her, but that her information is correct and has been verified.
