El Dia reports that the National Drug Control Department's head of operations, Police Colonel Miguel A Sanchez Diaz and the DNCD commander at La Romana Airport are under investigation due to suspicious activity in relation to the murder of former Police colonel Jose Amado Gonzalez Gonzalez. Sanchez Diaz had served as director of operations from the start of Major General Rolando Rosado Mateo's tenure as DNCD chief. El Dia reports that the investigation into Sanchez Diaz was called after it was revealed that Sanchez had met with Gonzalez Gonzalez minutes before he was murdered. The newspaper writes that the meeting had not been authorized and that Sanchez Diaz did not report it to his superiors, despite knowing that Gonzalez Gonzalez was being followed because of his links to Figueroa Agosto.
In the case of the DNCD commander at La Romana Airport, identified as Colonel Diaz Medina, he is known to have arrived at the scene of the crime shortly after the murder and El Dia reports he had the intention of removing documents and other possible evidence that was in the murdered former officer's apartment. Diaz Medina is also said to have tried to remove a safe that was in the apartment, but this was impeded by police at the scene of the crime who kept all under custody until the arrival of Prosecutor General Office officials who took charge of the investigation. The prosecutors proceeded to formally search the apartment recovering documents and objects of interest to investigators and the safe. The safe was opened the next day in the presence of two of Gonzalez Gonzalez' brothers and his lawyer.
El Dia reports today that investigators have confirmed that Jose D. Figueroa Agosto had threatened to eliminate former colonel Jose Amado Gonzalez for having set a trap for him to be murdered on the day of his spectacular escape at the crossing of 27 de Febrero near the La Esquina de Tejas restaurant.
