Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — The audit of former Playa del Carmen treasurer Javier Regalado Hendricks is in its final stage, according to the city’s new treasurer, Guillermo Brahms González, who described the findings as “complicated.”
In a brief interview, Brahms said the audit would conclude by the end of this week, after which he would provide detailed information about the review and its results.
When asked what the audit has revealed so far, Brahms replied: “Things are complicated, things are complicated.”
Regalado resigned as municipal treasurer on May 21, citing “strictly personal and professional reasons” in a letter to the city council. His resignation came amid public allegations of irregularities within the Treasury Department, which stirred controversy in local political circles.
The following day, Brahms, who had been serving as the city’s chief administrative officer, was sworn in as treasurer.
On May 27, Brahms said one of his first tasks would be to review and, if necessary, reorganize the department. He also dismissed the possibility of a deficit, stating: “We need to thoroughly review suppliers and contracts to see the reality, but Playa del Carmen does not have a deficit.”
