The chief of the Air Force Major General Carlos Altuna Tezanos says that comments by Eric Christopher, the son of murdered officer at the Civil Aviation Institute (IDAC), Angel Christopher Martinez, that two Air Force officers could have been involved in the murder of his father are just rumors. Eric Christopher had stated that two Air Force officers had threatened his father at the IDAC offices after his father had cancelled the flight permission to a plane flown by missing pilot Adrian Jimenez. Two weeks later, his father was murdered. Jimenez is missing with 11 other persons after on a suspect people smuggling flight. And his disappearance has brought to the forefront facts linking him to the Christopher murder.
Jimenez was last known to have landed in Turks & Caicos. His Dominican piloting license had been cancelled, and he flew using a US student license. Christopher said that one of the two Air Force officers would later work at the IDAC. He has openly asked for an investigation.
When interviewed by El Caribe, Altuna Tezano said this would have to be investigated. "The Air Force is open, but it is not in control of the airports. There is a Civil Aviation department that is in charge of watching over, checking the license of the pilots. The Air Force does not issue piloting licenses, nor dispatches flights at the airports," he said. He did admit that there are Air Force officers that work at the IDAC.
He recommended that Christopher meet with him and present proof so he can open an investigation.
Furthermore, Altuna Tezanos said that the Air Force is implementing "visual auditing" in order to uncover military that are known to have gone from rags to riches. He said those that make easy money usually show off. He said the Air Force has created a Department of Internal Affairs to look into these matters. "It is not possible that from morning to night a military who did not own a vehicle show up driving a Mercedes Benz," he said. He recalled his own days growing up with his parents that had a paper and printer's shop in Barahona. He said he has been in the Air Force for 29 years.
