Martin Sterling, the 34-year old son of Senator Noe Sterling Vasquez (Barahona-PRSC) will be charged by state prosecutors for coercion and his alleged involvement in the 4 August murder of seven men in a drug-related incident. As reported in El Caribe, the district prosecutor asked for a year and a half preventive custody for Martin Sterling who is currently being investigated at the Bani Police Department.
Sterling Vasquez, interviewed on the morning radio talk show, "El Gobierno de la Manana," said he was not aware of reports that the speedboat used by the Colombians who were murdered in the 4 August massacre had been found in a property belonging to his family in Barahona. He did acknowledge that he was aware that three men, one of whom had identified himself as a Navy officer, visited his home and requested that his son Martin rent them a boat to scuba dive, but his son denied them the use of the boat. But, according to a report in El Caribe, the group later told him they needed the boat to rescue some friends. He said his son again denied the use of the boat. He said that his son, a former Air Force lieutenant, has never been investigated by justice. He said that after serving in the Air Force, his son worked at the Ministry of the Armed Forces, and then resigned at the end of President Balaguer's government. Afterwards, he said his son has been in business, having owned a company that sold potable water, and later worked at the family's propane gas company.
