Following investigations by the authorities, as of yesterday 5 people have been detained and the police have found the vehicle that was used by the people who shot former Colonel Jose Amado Gonzalez Gonzalez (National Police) 13 times. Gonzalez Gonzalez was under investigation for his alleged ties to the drug-trafficking fugitive Jose D. Figueroa Agosto.
In a press release published after a 4-hour meeting, Prosecutor General Radhames Jimenez Pena, National Police chief Major General Rafael Guillermo Guzman Fermin, DNCD head Rolando Rosado Mateo, and District Attorney for the National District, Alejandro Moscoso Segarra, said that the investigations are well advanced. A license plate OE 00234 belonging to the National Army was found in a vehicle that had been assigned to former major Bienvenido Antonio Savinon Aybar in 2005. According to other newspaper reports Savinon is being sought in connection with the case but has not been apprehended. The investigations showed that the vehicle did not belong to the Army, but rather to a "cover" company, Janes Villa, tied to the criminal network headed by Figueroa Agosto, according to the report.
The report also says that Gonzalez was already being investigated by the District Attorney and the DNCD because of his alleged links to Figueroa Agosto's criminal network. "The investigations are progressing, and in a relatively short time we hope to conclude the investigations and present the case to the courts", they added.
They told reporters that once the killing occurred, the authorities proceeded to pick up all the evidence and immediately, in strict compliance with the legal requirements, carried out a search of an apartment in Torre Serena on Anacaona Avenue, which belonged to Gonzalez and his wife, recovering a series of documents and objects, including a safe.
The report specifies that the safe was opened on 25 December in the presence of two brothers of the dead colonel and his lawyer, finding documents inside that were recorded by the prosecutors as well as the other objects and documents that were found.
Listin Diario reports that the safe removed from the apartment shortly after the murder contains important evidence. The newspaper says that shortly after the murder, the safe was removed by an active colonel, who has not been identified, but that the military officer was later obliged to hand the box to the investigators.
Gonzalez Gonzalez had been mentioned in the case against Mary Pelaez, a suspect front for drug trafficker Jose Figueroa Agosto.
Besides Jimenez Pena, Guzman Fermin, Rosado Mateo and Moscoso Segarra, assistant prosecutors Frank Soto, Bolivar Sanchez and Colonel Alejandro Dipre Sierra took part in the meeting.
Listin Diario reported on 26 December that shortly after the murder, a man who identified himself as Reynaldo Gonzalez, the victim's brother, said that his brother had been living in the Torre Serena for a few months. He said that before moving to the apartment he lived in La Agustinita, a populous low-income area north of the city, next door to Cristo Rey.
