Attorney General Radhames Jimenez says that the investigation into the assassination attempt on journalist Julio Martinez will move slowly and states that Martinez has yet to file a formal compliant against the person he claims tried to kill him. Martinez, quoted in Diario Libre, says that an unnamed government member had hired a man called Jose Venegas to murder him. Martinez is also voicing his concern at President Leonel Fernandez’s supposed indifference on the subject. Martinez is a commentator on the “El gobierno de la manana” radio show on Z-101 and Radhames Jimenez said that the supposed murderer had a criminal record and was also linked to the disappearance of journalist Narciso Gonzalez.
