State prosecutors are asking for a 30-year jail sentence for Franklin Javier Reynoso Moronta, for the attempted murder of lawyer and TV commentator Jordi Veras, as reported in Diario Libre. Reynoso facilitated the court use a recording he had made of his conversations with Adriano Roman, the alleged mastermind of the contract to murder Veras. The tape was presented to the court when Roman refused to pay for the “service”. Reynoso and the killers had told Roman the tape would be used as evidence, but this did not motivate him to pay, as reported in Diario Libre. As reported in Diario Libre, during this time the Police confiscated the recordings in a visit to the office of defendant lawyer Carlos Balcacer.
The tape is evidence of the participation of Roman in the attempted murder.
Veras was the lawyer of Roman’s former wife, Miguelina Llaverias, in the case of her kidnapping and sexual abuse. Roman had ordered one of his aides to rape Llaverias in his presence after they had recently divorced. Roman was the godfather of one of Reynoso’s children, who had been born when both of them were in jail.
Reynoso was removed from Rafey jail in Santiago to the Moca jail.
In the case, the accused of the material murder attempt suspects are Engels Carela Castro, Candy Caminero Rodriguez, Roberto Zabala Espinosa and Arturo Ferreras del Castillo.
