Captain Anderson Antonio Rojas and Corporal Wilkinson Novas Diaz have been sentenced to three months house arrest at the 27 de Febrero Naval Base for their role in the assassination attempt on Major Joran Jose Baez Fernandez. Both men have denied their role in the plot and their lawyers have said that they would appeal against the decision. Initial reports in Diario Libre indicate that Major Baez had recently been in the process of stopping many drug and contraband shipments at Las Americas International Airport, angering criminal figures and leading to the development of the murder plot. Diario Libre also writes that the civilians ordered to kill the Major would have received RD$500,000 for their services.
