The case that shocked Santiago following the death of Deivy Carlos Abreu Quezada, 41, continues its course in the Dominican courts. Currently, the authorities’ focus is centered on the repatriation of Jhovanny de Jes\u00fas Metz Cruz, alias \u201cMacho,\u201d who is being held in Jamaica and is identified as one of the main individuals responsible for the crime.<\/p>\n\n
The lawyer for the plaintiff, Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ednez Brito, clarified that, although there is no formal extradition treaty between the Dominican Republic and Jamaica, this does not represent a legal impediment to the transfer of the accused. As he explained, the process has already been initiated by the Attorney General’s Office through a different diplomatic and judicial channel, adjusted to international regulations.<\/p>\n\n
There are people who believe that just because there is no extradition treaty it means they will not be extradited, and that is not the case; what there is, is a different procedure.<\/p>Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ednez Brito, lawyer for the victim’s family.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
Additional details about the fugitive and the defendants<\/h3>\n\n
\u201cMacho\u201d is not only facing accusations for the death of Abreu Quezada. The jurist revealed that the individual also has pending legal issues for an assault with a firearm against a member of the Armed Forces, a process in which he was declared in contempt after failing to appear at the hearings.<\/p>\n\n
While their return is being managed, the proceedings against the seven individuals already in preventive detention in Dominican territory continue without interruption. The accused are:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
- Adony Antonio Ure\u00f1a Ventura<\/li>\n
- Andr\u00e9s Moncl\u00fa Gonz\u00e1lez<\/li>\n
- Carlos Andr\u00e9s Roa Mor\u00e1n<\/li>\n
- Miguel Garc\u00eda Balbuena<\/li>\n
- Joanfry Joel N\u00fa\u00f1ez<\/li>\n
- Juan Carlos Soto Ortiz<\/li>\n
- Kevin Francisco Metz Cruz (\u201cMacho\u2019s\u201d brother)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Theory of the case: A collective action<\/h3>\n\n
The victim’s legal representation maintains that the incident was not an isolated event, but a concerted action. The Public Prosecutor’s theory suggests that the defendants pursued and cornered Abreu Quezada in a coordinated manner. As key evidence, audiovisual material has been incorporated into the proceedings where, allegedly, voices can be heard inciting violence against the truck driver.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cEveryone is an author,\u201d declared Mart\u00ednez Brito, emphasizing that the goal of the plaintiff is to precisely determine the level of responsibility of each person involved, including possible negligence by authorities who could have intervened during the course of events.<\/p>\n\n
The victim’s family remains hopeful that the Dominican judicial system will achieve an exemplary sentence, ensuring that the proceedings against the seven detainees will continue their normal course, regardless of the time it takes for Metz Cruz’s extradition from Jamaica.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
