He noted that the casino has been closed since March of this year, and no tourists are expected to visit the island anytime soon.
“Nevertheless, I spoke with [the] attorney general regarding that issue and we’ll be coming up with a course of action,” Torres said.
He added that the AG will take the lead “on what action can be taken and what action should be taken.”
“We’ll keep you posted on that issue,” he said.
