Ten years after the death of Daniel Elias Mirambeaux, then reported as suicide, his relatives are suing two US Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, a former chief of the National Police and several police officers. They accuse these of involvement in the throwing of their relative from the third floor of the Police Palace moments before he was to be transported to take a plane back to New York. On 29 June 1989 he was under police custody and was being taken to be deported to the States to be processed for the murder of New York police agent Michael Bucczek in 1988. Relatives of Mirambeaux have sent the case to the Juzgado de Instrucción de la Quinta Circunscripción, a first step in Dominican justice. The court needs to determine if there is a case. The relatives say that Mirambeaux was already dead from fractures received when he was thrown from the third floor. They say proof comes from the autopsy that was carried out, and samples of blood of his type found in the Police headquarter elevator. They accuse FBI agents Ernesto Pérez and Rafael Pagán, former police chief José Morillo Rodríguez (intellectual author), Crescencio Jáquez, chief of the secret service of the Police; Rinel Lozada, deputy chief of that department; Germán Despradel, deputy chief of the Drug Control Department (DNCD) and César Ares Germán, former chief of the Interpol in the DR.
