Former Peravia police commander, General Hilario Gonzalez has sued Peravia Senator Wilton Guerrero for defamation. Gonzalez is asking for a year in prison sentence and RD$50 million in indemnity. Furthermore, General Gonzalez denies that he was a "compadre" to attorney general Radhames Jimenez (meaning he was the godfather of a child of Jimenez). The General defends his 39 years in the police force.
The senator publicly denounced that Gonzalez profited from protecting drug dealers in the area following the murder of seven supposed drug dealers in Paya, Bani. Reportedly, there was a lot of cash and 1,200 kilos of cocaine at the property where the seven were killed. President Leonel Fernandez appointed a high-level commission to investigate the murders.
Senator Guerrero has questioned the origins of the fortune of Gonzalez. He says he is not afraid and that the lawsuit is an opportunity for him to expose more on illicit acts by Gonzalez. The suit was received at the Supreme Court of Justice because the senator has privileged legal jurisdiction.
"If he sues me then I have the opportunity to tell the country what kind of 'scum' (granuja) he is, and if the governor does the same, then I will have the opportunity to tell things that I have not yet said," he told Hoy. Guerrero, in the Senate, accused General Gonzalez, and Peravia Governor Bienvenido Montero of being part of a threesome with the district prosecutor that facilitated drug operations in the province.
Guerrero was interviewed by Hoy after meeting with environmental prosecutor, Andres Chalas, regarding the illegal cutting of forests in an area near the Valdesia Dam in Peravia. Guerrero said that the land was purchased by Governor Bienvenido Montero for below market price.
Senator Wilton Guerrero suggested that General Hilario Gonzalez used police subordinates to protect eight Dominican-Yorks that operated and directed drug trafficking rings in Bani. The legislator said that the criminals were lucky, because the policemen also cared for their farms while Gonzalez was in charge of the police in Peravia, as reported in El Nuevo Diario.
He said that three of the Dominican-Yorks were in charge of the monthly meal budget for all of the policemen in Bani.
He said that Gonzalez has placed the suit because he has high-up protectors in government. As reported in El Nuevo Diario and the Listin Diario, Guerrero said that Gonzalez does not believe in Dominican justice. He questioned what justice can General Hilario Gonzalez believe in when he took a son that had been arrested in possession of drugs with him to place the defamation suit in the Supreme Court. His son, Hilario Radhames Gonzalez Diaz, at the time a police sargeant,was released after being arrested with 20 kilos of cocaine at JFKennedy airport in 2004, and he was retired at his own request from the Dominican police with no mark against his record, while others without influence are publicly dishonorably discharged by the police, said Guerrero. He said anyone can go to the attorney general office and they will not find any file against Hilario Radhames Gonzalez Diaz. At the time Hilario Gonzalez, his father, was a colonel in the police.
