Vilorio, alias "Darío Gasolina," testified before the National District 3rd Collegiate Court, which hears the case against the 22 accused, said Navy Petty officer Antonio Manuel Roché Pineda, alias Kiko, supplied them with the guns. "Kiko gave me four guns to sell and I sold them for 270,000 pesos, at 90,000 each in the communities of Higüey and Bávaro, to a certain Carlos and Carlos through two friends known as Alberto and Osiris."

He said he had learned that the guns had been taken out "the rear area" of the Navy base, but didn’t know their origin or if they had been used in the August 4, 2008, massacre in the community Ojo de Agua, Bani.

Vilorio said as soon as he was arrested and interrogated by the Antinarcotics Agency (DNCD) he recovered the guns and returned them to a colonel whose last name is Báez.

When the prosecution asked him if the person who gave him the four guns was present in court, he responded affirmatively, stood up and pointed to Roche Pineda (Kiko), who was seated next to his lawyer. He revealed that economic reasons prompted him to conduct the illegal deal of selling the guns and that Kiko only paid him 10,000 pesos for his collaboration.

The witness admitted having a prior record for illegal people trafficking trips and has been investigated for drug trafficking in the East region, a revelation that led the defense to request that his testimony be stricken.

He also admitted having been linked to the ex Navy commander Carlos Rossó Peña, who’s being held in the United States on charges of drug airdrops in the East region, together with Ramon Antonio Rosario Puente, alias Toño Leña, being held in the prison at Monte Plata.

Vilorio told the court he owns a bar in La Romana and the disco "Gasolina Sport Bar" in Cumayasa, on the La Romana-San Pedro highway.

The prosecution declines calling three witnesses

The Justice Ministry declined to call general Napoleón Terrero and colonel Elvis Soriano Familia, both assigned to the Antinarcotics Agency, and the civilian Abel Damirón Soto as witness, claiming that their testimonies were no longer necessary.
