The District Attorney for the National District, Jose Manuel Hernandez Peguero, announced the arrest of one suspect in the attempted homicide of television and radio commentator Euri Cabral on Wednesday night. Hoy newspaper reports that the DA is not revealing the name of the person being questioned, but that he did say that the case is not an isolated incident. Peguero said that the Cabral incident bears stark similarities to a declaration made last week by well-known lawyer Ramon Antonio “Negro” Veras, who said that military and police officials were plotting against well-known personalities, including himself. Police Chief Manuel de Jesus Perez Sanchez ordered special protection for Cabral and other commentators of the popular radio program “El gobierno de la manana,” of whom only two have accepted the offer and whose names were not revealed. Yesterday, a special commission was formed to lead the investigation into the incident in which approximately ten shots were fired at Cabral’s SUV as he and various passengers drove down a Santo Domingo street. The commission is headed by DR Attorney General Francisco Dominguez Brito and includes District Attorney Hernandez Peguero, Police Chief Perez Sanchez, the head of criminal investigations General Bernardo Santiago y Santiago, and the chief of the intelligence division of the Armed Forces, Major General Rafael Ramirez Ferreira. Sources are telling reporters from Hoy that there is a lot of scrutiny being given to the car that was driving ahead of Cabral’s Honda SUV. The other people under investigation are possible eye witnesses who may be able to supply more information to the police.
