Speaking on the program El Despertador on Channel 7, lawyer Tomas Castro has confirmed that ex-President, Leonel Fernandez, has information concerning those responsible for the disappearance of university Professor Narciso Gonzalez (Narcisazo).
Castro recounted that he went to the office of the then President to hand over a report with the results of the original investigation, and that the President took the envelope and handed it to Abel Rodriguez Del Orbe, who was Attorney General at that time. But Castro said that Orbe told Fernandez “President this is yours, I have mine.”
Castro said that he then realized that there were two reports; one for the Attorney General and one for President Fernandez. And that Fernandez would decide what he wanted to do about the case.
He said, based on the report in the President’s possession, Fernandez may know who killed the Professor. He commented that Fernandez has kept quiet about it, probably for political reasons.
Castro went on to say that when Hipolito Mejia became President, he asked him about the report and Mejia said that Leonel had left nothing in the office, nothing about the case of Narcisazo.
Later Castro spoke to Leonel Fernandez about the report, asking if he had read it and the reply was that the report did indeed contain sufficient information to prosecute certain people.
Castro said that the logical presumption was that Fernandez was talking about his report and not that of the Attorney General.
Castro said that he hoped that Danilo Medina’s administration would take action and confirmed that he had confidence in Yeni Berenice Reynoso, the current prosecutor.
