A caller to the popular Z101 El Gobierno de la Manana talk show identified himself as Jose Figueroa Agosto on Wednesday, 30 December and denounced Colonel Miguel Angel Sanchez Martinez, Santos Manuel Diaz Medina and Colonel Elvis Florencio Soriano Familia of the Police, accusing them of responsibility for the death of former police colonel Jose Amado Gonzalez Gonzalez. As reported in Listin Diario, Police Chief Major General Rafael Guillermo Guzman Fermin confirmed that investigations are ongoing into Sanchez Martinez and Diaz Medina's involvement in Gonzalez Gonzalez's murder. And now Colonel Elvis Soriano Familia is also under investigation in the case. The newspaper recalls that another fugitive in the Jose Figueroa Agosto case, Sobeida Felix Morel, had said that Colonel Soriano Familia was responsible for anything that would happen to her after she was arrested by the authorities.
Soriano Familia was the director of the National Drug Control Department (Unidad de Reaccion Tactica - URT) rapid action unit. Felix Morel accused Soriano Familia of taking one of the bags of money from the SUV that was confiscated at the Alco Paradisso tower in La Esperilla neighborhood with US$4.6 million inside. Furthermore, Guzman Fermin said that Rafael Solano de los Santos, a close friend of Figueroa Agosto, who was in jail for several years in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico is also under investigation. Figueroa Agosto is a fugitive from Puerto Rican justice, where he was sentenced to 209 years.
Marino Vinicio Castillo, chief advisor on narcotics to the government, doubts that Jose Figueroa Agosto was the caller to the El Gobierno de la Manana program on Wednesday. He said that no capo at Figueroa Agosto's level would talk on a telephone for 22 minutes. "They know perfectly well what mechanisms and the technology can detect calls and locate the caller," he said. He suspects this could have been another of the Puerto Rican hit men at the service of Figueroa Agosto. Castillo told Listin Diario that he suspects that Figueroa Agosto is still in the DR. He said that he is being sought internationally and could be found more easily abroad. "He should be in a resort or a high rise here," he said as reported in the 2 January edition of Listin Diario.
Castillo, who heads the National Ethics Commission, said that the shots made near the Prosecutor General building were an "open attack by drug traffickers."
The caller said that Jose Figueroa Agosto supposedly paid 2 DNCD officials US$1 million on 3 September in return for them helping him escape. Reportedly Figueroa Agosto said that the million pesos were delivered to Jose Amado Gonzalez Gonzalez to bribe Colonel Elvis Florencio Soriano Familia and the director of Operations at the DNCD Miguel Angel Sanchez Martinez to enable his escape on 3 September when he was being pursued by DNCD agents on Avenida 27 de Febrero. He said that he received a call at 1:20 on 3 September and was told that he should leave because the authorities were outside his apartment. When he left he was pursued by a Toyota pickup and the order was to kill him, he said.
The caller denied that Mary Pelaez had purchased property from him, although he admitted knowing her, and also denied knowing the whereabouts of Sobeida Felix Morel.
To give credibility, he provided Figueroa Agosto's social security number, 58435565, and his license number in Puerto Rico, 454892. He said he had not been convicted of drug trafficking in Puerto Rico, but rather for conspiracy. He said he had lived in the DR for 10 years.
The Police and Prosecutor General have ordered a commission made up by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigations to study the tape of the conversation.
