Julio Ochoa: Difference between revisions

'''Julio Ochoa''' is the currently serving mayor of [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. His most notable works have been done in [[2008]]. He does not appear through the game but is mentioned frequently in the in-game media, such as [[Internet in GTA IV|online websites]] and also during some missions and one of the [[Higgins Helitours|helicopter tour]]. The closest he came to an appearance was in [[The Lost and Damned]], while [[Thomas Stubbs III]] receives a call on his cell phone from [[Johnny Klebitz]], while Stubbs is in a meeting with the mayor. [[Jon Gravelli]] claims he was to receive a visit from him in the hospital, as well as two US senators.

Ochoa has a campaign to remove the sale or possession of illegal firearms from the city and launched cases against [[Ammu-Nation]] stores across the country. During a helitour, the pilot mentions to [[Niko Bellic|Niko]] and the other tourists that Ochoa eased safety restrictions on helicopters and their pilots. Ochoa also settled the [[Diamonds]] case when he allowed [[Jerry Kapowitz]] to keep all proceeds on the sale of the diamonds after he found them, despite over a hundred claims of their ownership. The reason given was that it would be impossible to verify the claims. This would make him extremely unpopular with a number of people in the Liberty City underworld. Apparently, his term has ended as of the events of [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]] as Ammu-Nation is again up and running, although it is a [[AmmuNation.net|website]].

He is partially based on Fernando "Freddy" Ferrer, a Hispanic New York City politician who unsuccessfully ran for mayor in 2001 and 2005.
