The president of the National Transporters Federation New Option (Fenatrano), Juan Hubieres relinquishes responsibility in the case of the murder of a public transport driver, 43-year old Jose Manuel Genao Ramos, as reported in Diario Libre. Genao's widow Celida Nunez says that men representing Fenatrano ambushed her husband. She mentions a "Felix Sicotes" and his brother. Genao was murdered in a yard opposite his Calle Juan Lopez, Respaldo Los Tres Ojos home after the Fenatrano men convinced him to accompany them to the lot where two buses had been retained, because they claimed to be there with a state prosecutor to confiscate his buses. Once in the lot, they murdered Genao and ran.
His widow said that for several months, a group of transporters had demanded that Fenatrano president and now deputy elect, Juan Hubieres should clear out the accounts on the payment of the financing of the buses. They were under the impression that the buses were fully paid for.
At the time, Genao and Andres Julio Flores and Lorenzo del Villar accused Hubieres of overvaluing the cost of the blue buses by 100%. Lorenzo del Villar has gone on record saying that Juan Hubieres was the mastermind behind the killing.
Meanwhile, Police Chief Rafael Guillermo Guzman Fermin called for Juan Hubieres to mediate to bring the two men who allegedly executed Genao to justice. Hubieres says the men are not under his custody. But he admitted that the men who visited Genao at his house are in charge of securing the vehicles that have outstanding debts.
The Fenatrano transporter union is known for using violent methods to impose their decisions on other transporters.
Hoy reports that Genao, who was secretary general of the Quinto Centenario Route, died as a result of four bullet wounds. Hoy says the killing was connected to a dispute involving Fenatrano drivers in Los Tres Brazos, when the latter refused the confiscation of several buses.
The murder occurred in front of around 30 witnesses. According to some versions, Hubieres demanded a payment of RD$400,000, in addition to the RD$600,000 that Jose Genao had supposedly paid. Genao's father-in-law, Felix Genao accused Felix Sicote and Cornelio El Rubio of the murder.
