The murder of lawyer, Yuniol Ram\u00edrez took another turn when the lawyer of Argenis Contreras, currently a fugitive, revealed that Ramirez was murdered by two supposed policemen in an SUV in the car park of the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD). Ram\u00edrez was investigating corruption at the government bus division, OMSA.<\/p>\n
Lawyer Carlos Balc\u00e1cer, said that the two supposed policemen were there to hand over three million pesos to Yuniol Ram\u00edrez, with the intention of then \u201cbumping him off\u201d.<\/p>\n
He said that Argenis Contreras, who he said is in the United States, revealed that he was in a vehicle next to the SUV and he heard arguments and several shots. He said that Contreras also said that Jos\u00e9 Mercado Blanco \u201cEl Grande,\u201d who is also accused of the crime, was not even there, and the authorities know that as there are videos of him between La Vega and Santiago at the time of the murder.<\/p>\n
Balc\u00e1cer said that Contreras would return to the Dominican Republic next week and would reveal the name of the person who sent the police to carry out the murder.<\/p>\n
Having been questioned as to where Contreras is living, Balc\u00e1cer would only say that he was in the United States and that the US authorities had carried out several raids to try and find him.
\nHe drew attention to businessman, Eddy Santana Zorrilla, who had been the person involved in the negotiations and of whom he said \u201che is involved in this\u201d.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile the judge in Las Caoba set the date for the hearing about coercive measures against three new accused persons; Lucas Tob\u00edas Ortega Duarte, V\u00edctor Elisander Raverlo Campos, alias \u201cEl Herrero\u201d, and Jorge Luis Abreu Fabi\u00e1n, alias \u201cDJ and El Taxista\u201d, accused of covering up for Argenis Contreras and trying to destroy evidence in the case.<\/p>\n
