Relatives of respected former Civil Aviation Board official Angel Christopher Martinez who was shot dead over two years ago are calling on General Prosecutor Radhames Jimenez Pena to take action in the yet unsolved murder case. Christopher was murdered in his vehicle on 12 July 2006. Family members held a protest outside the General Prosecutor's and Supreme Court of Justice offices yesterday. They said that the General Prosecutor's Office has plenty of information on the case but refuses to act, as reported in Hoy. "We have sent over 20 letters to the General Prosecutor with information on who were the intellectual and material culprits, but have received no response," said Eric Christopher, son of the deceased.
Christopher said that Jimenez Pena has been acting in "an irresponsible and cowardly way regarding this crime," as reported in Hoy. He said that he has provided information about a Police officer and a military official who he says are implicated in the murder but there has been no response from the General Prosecutors Office. "It is not possible that government officials who are involved from the aviation and military and police sectors continue to be covered up," he claimed. He said there has been "total complicity" on the part of the General Prosecutor's Office and the National Police, which is why the culprits are still free 27 months after the crime. Eric Christopher claimed that "it is not possible that there continues to be protected sectors and mafias organized within the institutions, and in this case of aviation, that uses airplanes to market drugs and for drug trafficking and other events and we receive no response from the authorities," he said.
Eric Christopher was seeking to meet with the General Prosecutor without success yesterday.
