Journalist Guillermo Tejeda claims that complicity between the authorities and drug dealers has prevented his son's murder from being resolved. As reported in Hoy, he said that the influence of drug money has swayed the will of many. He denounced complicity with drug dealers that he says has taken hold of the police, the judicial and military authorities, and even the body in charge of fighting drug trafficking.
His son Guillermo Tejeda Kranwinkel was murdered on 3 March 2008 and his father maintains that he was killed by the drug dealers he had been pursuing.
Tejeda says that from the outset he has said that cops and military personnel are closely linked to the murder and that the investigations so far have shown that police will erase evidence from the scene of a crime in return for multi-million peso sums. At the time of his murder, Tejeda Kranwinkel was in charge of the National Drug Control Department in Jarabacoa, La Vega.
Tejeda senior said that Prosecutor General Radhames Jimenez and chief of the Police Rafael Guillermo Guzman Fermin had appointed a commission whose work is at a standstill. The Police and the DNCD had initially promised Tejeda that the case would be resolved in hours.
Tejeda went on to say that until the Police, Army, Justice and the National Drug Control Department are purged from the networks of drug traffickers the country will continue to see the deaths of more agents who refuse to be corrupted by money from organized crime. "Drug trafficking has proven to be above the authorities' response capacity, and the power of money has won over the complicity of important elements that are responsible for keeping my son's murder shrouded in mystery," he said. He added that after his son was murdered at least one superior officer was fired, but that otherwise the authorities have kept silent. "Check what is happening in San Cristobal with one of Quirino's nephews who is a paid murderer and who it is said to have ties to the murder and see who is behind the decision to free him," said Tejeda, quoted by Diario Libre in its coverage of a father's fight to resolve the case of his son's murder.
