Santo Domingo.- Presidency antinarcotics adviser Marino Vinicio Castillo on Sunday revealed that the Justice Ministry told him of a plan to attack him. “It’s been months ago that I was called by the Justice Minister (Radhamés Jiménez), and the National District Prosecutor (Alejandro Moscoso) to warn me that there was a very serious denunciation in course, the possibility of an attack against me.”

Speaking in his program “La Respuesta” (the answer), the noted attorney said the Justice Ministry has proof, a photo taken of the gate of his house, found in a Blackberry phone seized from one of Puerto Rican drug trafficker Jose Figueroa Agosto’s most dangerous hired killers, now being prosecuted.

“Who believes that they’re going to silence the Castillos through the murders of good people who serve them, they are mistaken, I believe that by doing so with some us couldn’t even silence us, on the contrary, they would have to prepare themselves for a harshening of our attacks, the indication and the accusation, because they’re not going to steal the Republic for crime,” the official warned.

“Narco-politics”

Castillo said he hadn’t spoken about the finding before because he wants to condense all appreciations, so the sectors of the “narco-politics” or “political-narcotics” know that they are their trail, of what they represent, regarding what they have with detainees awaiting trail and of their conversations.

He said 13 charges of dynamite were found in one of the three hired killers now facing prosecution for allegedly murdering the owner of the restaurant La Francesa, Rubén Soto Hayet, but complained that a judge who hears the case considered that it didn’t constitute an example of terrorism.

Castillo noted that if the explosives were to celebrate a birthday or for use as fireworks, they could’ve also been for detonating houses, automobiles and killing good and innocent people. He said that type of treatment of judicial cases is taking the country to perdition.

Death of bodyguard

As to the murder on Tuesday of Air Force first lieutenant Robinson Suárez, bodyguard of his son, the deputy Pelegrín Castillo, the official said the case isn’t closed because they are in the presence of a new serious attack against his family, which will not accept it as chance, and instead premeditation. “I believe that Robinson Suárez was the victim of an ambush, a premeditated attack, without committing an assault against anybody.”
