The 30-year jail sentence imposed on gang member Edri Vladimir "Vla" Pujols has been upheld by a court of appeals in San Cristobal. Vla, leader of Los Zayayines gang, had been sentenced to 30 years in jail for the murder of Azua journalist Juan Andujar and for injuring another man, Jorge Luis Sencion. An appeal request from Juan Bautista Ramirez Paniagua, who was convicted for the same crime, was denied. Ramirez is serving a five-year sentence and must pay RD$300,000 in compensation. Vla was also charged with the attempted murder of Sencion, who had his arm amputated after the incident, and for assaulting Antonio Munoz and Sandy Munoz. Andujar was murdered in 2004 and Vla had been on the run since then. He was apprehended by officials on 30 March 2006.
