On her Saturday, 1 May TV show, investigative journalist Nuria Piera presented two policemen who she said had posed as reformed gang members for the Police. She proved that a Joel Alcantara who the Police said was a member of the gang Amor y Paz in Los Alcarrizos was really Victor Reyes Cabrera, a policeman assigned to the Anti-Gang Unit of the Police, who had served in the force for five years. The Anti-Gang Unit was proudly explaining how it had helped 4,000 gang members to go legit, as reported in El Caribe.
Claudio Acosta, Que Se Dice columnist in Hoy wonders what need the Police had to present this sort of deceit to the general public. "Or are we faced with some sort of public relations policy aimed at faking and magnifying police actions?" he writes today. He questions whether the use of "police actors" is common when the Police announce institutional achievements and the arrest of a powerful gang of contract killers. He asks how people are supposed to know what is truth and what is a lie in what the Police is saying. He concludes this action does much harm to Police credibility.
Yesterday, the Police admitted it was true they had deceived the general public when presenting the two supposedly reformed criminals on CDN TV. As reported in El Caribe, Polcie spokesman Nelson Rosario justified the action by Colonel Andres Felix Fernandez.
