Guerrero repeats call for probe

[NewsWhore]

Senator Wilton Guerrero says he is surprised that General Prosecutor Radhames Jimenez Pena is accusing him of the same things as the former Police commander in Bani, General Hilario Gonzalez y Gonzalez. Senator Guerrero has accused General Gonzalez of complicity with drug traffickers in the region. At a press conference yesterday, Senator Guerrero said his son Francisco Alberto Guerrero Melo had been arrested in New York for a traffic accident for which his friend, who was driving the vehicle, was fined US$150. Proof that his son was not involved with drug trafficking activities is reflected in the fact that he was granted US citizenship this year. In response to accusations made by Guerrero of negligence in investigating drug cases, Jimenez said that it was Guerrero who should be investigated for his fortune and for his son's behavior. Guerrero showed a court report on the traffic incident. He said that Jimenez was welcome to investigate the source of his wealth, referring him to documentation at the Controllers Office and Chamber of Accounts on his management of the Dominican Agrarian Institute during President Fernandez's first term of office. He repeated his call for a more thorough investigation into the killing of seven suspected drug dealers in Bani last month. "This is the right time to reiterate the call that we have been making to the Prosecutor since the events in Paya: take on your responsibility as chief prosecutor and investigate in depth and with the sufficient rigor so that the truth may come out, no matter who is sacrificed, or which altars are taken down," said Guerrero, as reported in Diario Libre.
