The District Attorney of Santo Domingo, Francisco Domínguez Brito sent to justice the case against Partido de la Liberación Dominicana activists that are accused of having brutally murdered Air Force reserve general Luís Santiago Pérez in a yet confusing incident. The family of Domínguez Brito complained that another PLD activist who was the leader of the PLD activists that were pegging posters in the Urbanización Tropical when the incident happened was not included in the case. The family says the case was submitted so as to facilitate that the accused be let free on bail. They said they would take the PLD party to court for the death of the pilot. The family is assisted by Marino Mendoza, who is a personal assistant of Dr. José Francisco Peña Gómez, among other lawyers. Upon submitting the case, DA Domínguez pointed out that it was the first time that the DA’s office submitted political activists for crimes committed during a political campaign, and much less being of the same party as the government. "The country has changed, the DR is not the same…" said the DA.
