Pepe Goico not coming

Antonieta Rodriguez Solano, wife of former chief of security of former President Hipolito Mejia, Pedro Julio (Pepe) Goico, sent a legal notification to district attorney Jose Manuel Hernandez Peguero to explain that her husband is not in the country and thus cannot comply with the petition to visit the prosecutor’s office for questioning in the Hernani Salazar suit against Marino Vinicio (Vincho) Castillo. She suggests that instead her husband be questioned by a consular representative, a judge or prosecutor representative in Spain. Castillo has requested that Goico be questioned regarding the alleged association of former officers with former army captain Quirino Paulino Castillo. Quirino purchased a Colibri helicopter that Goico had in turn purchased using the credit card issued by Baninter for expenditures of President Hipolito Mejia.
