Judge remands 5 accused of contract killings
There are eleven alleged hired killers in custody
SANTO DOMINGO. The judge for Permanent Attention of the National District, Patricia Padilla, ordered preventive custody for up to a year for five persons involved in an alleged gang of contract killers that belong to the network of the fugitive Jose Figueroa Agosto. The five are alleged to have carried out at least five murders.
The magistrate ordered Jose Miguel Rodriguez Almonte (Job), who had possession of the weapons that were seized and who admitted his participation in the murders-for-hire, to be held at the Department of Special Operations of the National Police in Manoguayabo.
Also sent to the same detention center was Juan Amaurys Rodriguez Minier (Ambioriz Daytona). Meanwhile, Jose Anibal Hiraldo Garcia (Molmo) and Willian Ortiz de los Santos (Richard or Bolol) were sent to the jail in La Victoria.
Another person sent to preventive custody was Winston Antonio Rodriguez Taveras ("W", Fire or Cangril) who turned himself in last Sunday even as the Police were looking for him.
At the same time, the judge set a RD$200,000 bail, travel restrictions and periodic presentation every two weeks as the coercive measures against the woman Yermi Mercedes Liranzo Cruz (La Diosa), Joel Antonio Feliz Medina and Jose Alberto de la Cruz Paredes.
With these decisions, there are eleven alleged hitmen tied to Figueroa Agosto, and the prosecutors from the District Attorney's office have obtained coercive measures against them all.
The first to be sent to prison were Gean Enrique Rojas Matos, Ricardo Ramos M. and Diomedes Moya Duran (Oreja).
In a request where the DA asks for coercive measures against eight defendants, the prosecutors said that the accused have collaborated or have been found to be related in different ways with the criminal organization headed by the international fugitive Figueroa Agosto.
The District Attorney and his prosecutors indicate that they have seized an AK-47 automatic rifle and a Bersa automatic pistol whose shell casings coincide with those found at the scene of the murder of Colonel Jose Amado Gonzalez Gonzalez and the wounding of his wife Madeline Bernard.
The matching shell casings
The District Attorney says that the shell casings of the weapons match with those collected at the scene of the murders of Omar Antigua Polanco, Ruben Soto Hayet, Jorge Velasquez Santana and Maximo Jeronimo.
The authorities also seized two hand-held radios tuned to the Police frequencies, four DNCD identification cards, two IDs from the Dominican Army and a pair of handcuffs.
The accused in the case deny all of the charges.
