The police has carried out ten searches in different places, including three yesterday, looking for evidence needed to solve the Parmalat robbery attempt. Felix Ortega, who was arrested on Sunday and has been linked with the gang led by Air Force Major (now dishonorably discharged) Jose Luis Vargas Cuello, and considered to be a key piece in the "puzzle" could give more information on the whereabouts of the rest of the gang. With him, the total is now four captured and accused of taking part in the Thursday night raid on the Parmalat processing plant. Just yesterday, National Police chief Major General Rafael Guillermo Guzman Fermin said that the names of the rest of the people involved would shortly be made public. The police chief said that they were looking for seven people who are only known by their nicknames, and who might be involved in the crime.
Diario Libre learned that at police headquarters it was said that Special Forces were "combing" the whole country, especially the east, looking for the rest of the gang led by Vargas Cuello, now serving one year's preventative custody in La Victoria. The searches conducted yesterday took place in the eastern part of the province of Santo Domingo, searching for new evidence to help clear up the case where several members of the Air Force and some civilians are involved. Guzman Fermin warned that any military or police official who is involved in the crime would be prosecuted as a civilian and that he would not permit "the Police uniform to be stained under any circumstances."
The house located in La Cayena Street in Los Prados Oriental, on the San Isidro highway, was purchased by a family member of one of the men implicated in the raid and the group used it as a storage deposit where they took part of the merchandise stolen from their victims. What is strange is that their neighbors were apparently unaware of what was going on since the "operations took place at night and with great care." In this house, everything was stored, cars, SUVs, motorcycles, that were later sold to individuals and "on several occasions, cash was divided up at the house."
