The sister of former Senator Dario Gomez accused the past government of hiding the identity of the intellectual authors of the murder of her brother. Celeste Gomez replaced her brother as senator for the northwestern province of Santiago Rodriguez. She told the Listin Diario that the Police knew whose weapon killed her brother, and that it was they who delivered the weapon to whom killed her brother. She said that the family did not find support in the past government for the solving of the crime. Rather they met with a lack of will to pursue the case and instead complicity in the government. The family lawyer, Juan Miguel Castillo Pantaleon asked the chief of the Police to investigate the trail of the weapon used to kill the senator.
