Attorney General Francisco Domingo Brito has ordered the transfer of retired general Joaquin Pou Castro, who is serving 12 years for the murder of journalist Orlando Martinez, to Najayo prison. As reported in Diario Libre, Pou Castro had been held in a pavilion of the Armed Forces Ministry since his arrest in 1997 for the crime committed on 17 March 1975. The transfer order was directed to Prison Director Juan Ramon de la Cruz Martinez. The Supreme Court has not decided on an appeal by Pou Castro, together with former corporal Mariano Cabrera Duran and civilian Rafael Alfredo Lluberes Ricart. The latter two, also implied in the case, were sentenced to 15 years each.
