The ex-chief of the Armed Forces under President Dr. Joaquin Balaguer, retired General Juan Batista Rojas Tabar, told reporters yesterday that the "Narcisazo" court case is being used as a tool to "destroy the Armed Forces" and politically discredit both him and Balaguer.The case concerns the disappearance (and presumed murder) of university professor Narciso Gonz?lez, a known Balaguer critic, in 1994. Last week Air Force General Leonardo Reyes Bencosme was arrested because of the case. Reyes Bencosme , a former pilot of then President Balaguer, was chief of the A-2 Unit of Intelligence of the Air Force at the time of the disappearance of Gonz?lez. Yesterday the judge in charge of the case, Dr. Eduardo S?nchez Ort?z, ordered Reyes Bencosme transferred to a cell at the Armed Forces Ministry. Also yesterday retired Rear Admiral Rafael Romero Cintr?n was interrogated in the case.Rojas Tabar insisted yesterday that he has nothing to do with Gonz?lez’s disappearance, but warned that "many will go to jail" if attempts are made to indict him in the case.
