Air Force General Leonardo Reyes Bencosme was arrested last week, for investigations into the death of university professor Narciso Gonz?lez in 1994. Reyes Bencosme, a former pilot of then President Joaqu?n Balaguer, was chief of the A-2 Unit of Intelligence of the Air Force at the time of the disappearance of Gonz?lez. The judge in charge of the case, Dr. Eduardo S?nchez Ort?z has banned those under investigation for the crime from leaving the country while the investigations take place, but Reyes Bencosme is the first active general to be sent to jail. Among those that cannot leave the country are Constantino Matos Villanueva, former Minister of the Armed Forces at the time; and Rafael Guerrero Peralta, chief of the Police at the time.
