The National District judge for Permanent Attention, Patricia Padilla, has ordered preventive custody for up to a year for five people said to be involved in a gang of contract killers linked to fugitive Jose Figueroa Agosto's network. The five are accused of at least five murders. The magistrate ordered Jose Miguel Rodriguez Almonte (Job), who was in possession of the weapons that were seized and who admitted his role in the contract killings, to be held at the National Police Special Operations Department in Manoguayabo.
Juan Amaurys Rodriguez Minier (Ambioriz Daytona) was also sent to the same detention center. Meanwhile, Jose Anibal Hiraldo Garcia (Molmo) and Willian Ortiz de los Santos (Richard or Bolol) were sent to La Victoria jail. Another person sent to preventive custody was Winston Antonio Rodriguez Taveras ("W", Fire or Cangril) who turned himself in last Sunday as the Police were looking for him. The judge also set RD$200,000 in bail, travel restrictions and periodic presentation every two weeks in coercive measures against Yermi Mercedes Liranzo Cruz (La Diosa), Joel Antonio Feliz Medina and Jose Alberto de la Cruz Paredes. Eleven alleged hit men are now linked to Figueroa Agosto, and prosecutors from the District Attorney's office have obtained coercive measures against them all. The first to be sent to prison were Gean Enrique Rojas Matos, Ricardo Ramos M. and Diomedes Moya Duran (Oreja).
In a request where the DA asks for coercive measures against eight defendants, the prosecutors said that the accused have collaborated or have been found to be related in different ways to the criminal organization headed by international fugitive Figueroa Agosto. The District Attorney and his prosecutors say that they have seized an AK-47 automatic rifle and a Bersa automatic pistol whose shell casings match the ones found at the scene of the murder of Colonel Jose Amado Gonzalez Gonzalez and the wounding of his wife Madelin Bernard. The District Attorney says that the shell casings of the weapons also match the ones collected at the scene of the murders of Omar Antigua Polanco, Ruben Soto Hayet, Jorge Velasquez Santana and Maximo Jeronimo.
