During the ceremony of the celebration of the 53rd Anniversary of the Dominican Air Force all were surprised to note that none other than former General Salvador Lluberes Montas was invited to sit with President Hipolito Mejia at the table of honor. Lluberes Montas (Chinino) is implicated in the murder of journalist Orlando Martinez, assassinated on 17 March 1975 by Dominican military. The case against Lluberes Montas was left pending for trial when he was left out of the case due to serious health problems alleged by his relatives. The judicial authorities allowed the General to keep domiciliary arrest.
