Peravia senator Wilton Guerrero told reporters that Rafael Antonio Díaz (Buche), the drug trafficker under arrest for the death of Police colonel Daniel Ramos Alvarez from the La Preventiva jail in Baní had recently ordered two persons who had placed legal claims against him to be arrested by the authorities. Guerrero alleges that the alias Buche continues to operate with the complicity of the authorities.
The Police searched the houses of Roselys Margarita Montero and Renata Priscina Ramirez who had placed claims against him in October 2018 that led to his arrest at that time. Buche did not accomplish his objective when the wrong houses were searched. But at the time, by order of Buche, 59-year old Justiniano Lara Serrano was arrested in Jarro Sucio de Paya. He is a brother in law of Renata Priscina Ramirez and taken to the La Preventiva jail in Bani to be taken to his cell at the jail.
What is known is that Serrano was brutally beaten and it was not until his relatives called Senator Guerrero and the later called General Then who traveled to the jail finding Lara Serrano in poor condition and under the custody of an inmate known as Morenito. The senator showed photos of Lara Serrano who was taken to the public hospital.
As reported, on that day, Buche kidnapped Serrano and attacked him in the bathroom and then called his wife to demand ransom of 135,000 or else he would stab the man to death.
Wilton Guerrero emphasized that Buche is directing drug trafficking operations and crime from his cell in the jail with the cooperation of the Public Ministry and the drug control unit of the Police (Dicrim).
“We cannot say of the Dican, because the staff of the National Police drug unit has just recently been transferred, and we cannot say that it has the support of the DNCD because the entire complement was also transferred,” said Guerrero referring to the other two government drug control agencies.
He gave as an example that on the 23rd of January in Baní ten raids were made on an equal number of drug points when only that information was known in the capital, the organ that created those ten raids, General Then and the Public Ministry in Baní.
“In the 10 searches carried out, they found absolutely nothing, because members of the public prosecutor’s office belonging to the operative unit of organized crime gave the information to the owners of the drug points and the intelligence information was received so that they could remove in time the illicit materials, that is, weapons, drugs, cameras, etc,” said Wilton Guerrero.
Guerrero says :”In Baní, the Dicrim and the Public Ministry are essentially an operational unit of organized crime and common delinquency,” he said. Senator Guerrero invited the media to his office where he showed photos and documents to back up his denunciation at the Senate hall.
