The prosecutor for the province of Santo Domingo says the executives of the Parmalat company that was the target of a 12-man armed raid last month will not be pressing charges. Perfecto Acosta told El Nuevo Diario reporter Milagros Sanchez that the executives said that the money that was taken was insignificant in comparison to what it would cost the company in lawyers fees in order to pursue the case in the courts. Air Force Major Jorge Luis Vargas Cuello, Air Force Sergeant Carlos Santana Camacho and civilian Roberto Carlos Concepcion Comas (Marcos Comas), are accused of the raid on the Parmalat premises last week.
Major Jorge Luis Vargas Cuello has defended his innocence. He said that he was in the area at the time of the robbery when he received a call from Comas asking him to pick him up in his vehicle because a motorcycle belonging to him that Comas had taken for a test drive with the intention of possibly buying it had broken down. He said that after putting the motorcycle on his pick-up they drove along for a short distance before being intercepted by a Police patrol that shot at their feet and later took them to the Dario Contreras Public Hospital.
A patrol from the Villa Duarte police station detained the pair and recovered three guns, Carandai, Glock and Jericho, 9mm caliber, a Nissan Frontier pick-up truck with an official license plate, a Harley Davidson motorcycle and four cellphones, as reported in El Caribe.
The assailants entered the Parmalat premises under the guise of a National Drug Control Department operation, wearing uniforms with the DNCD logo.
