The First Collegiate Court of the Penal Chamber of the First Instance of the National District announced yesterday it would issue its verdict on 26 September 2011 in the case against eight people accused of complicity with organized crime in the drug capo Jose David Figueroa Agosto case.

The eight are Figueroa Agosto's lover Sobeida Felix Morel and her former husband Eddy Brito, sisters Mary and Adolfina Pelaez, Sammy Dauhajre, Ivanovich Smester Ginebra, Juan Jose Fernandez Ibarra and Leavy Nin Batista.

The Prosecutors called for five-year sentences for Sobeida Felix Morel and Leavy Nin Batista, after a deal was reached with the prosecution, and 20 years for Eddy Brito, the Pelaez sisters, Dauhajre, Smester and Fernandez.

In the closing statements, several of the defendants pleaded not guilty, stressing that the prosecutors failed to bring to court key persons in government and the military that evidence showed they were involved. The defendants insisted that Jose David Figueroa Agosto was able to move freely round the country as a protegee of the authorities.
