Last Friday, was sentenced to 13 years in prison, retired Army Gen. Alexis Sanchez for Yumare Case.
On May 8, 1986 in Yumare, Yaracuy state, a committee of the Army, headed by the time Sanchez, who was a colonel and director of the School of Army Operations Command - and a similar-directed Disip by Commissioner Henry López Sisco-General to take action against a guerrilla cell killing nine irregular: Luis Guzman Jose Silva, Ronald Morao Salgado, Dilia Rojas, Simon Romero Madrid, Pedro Jiménez García, Rafael Quevedo, Martin Nelson Castellanos and Alfredo Caicedo.
The military operation was questioned then as the relatives of the guerrillas said they were not such, but social activists who had been confused.
Therefore, members of both committees, the police and military were subject to military trial and found that yes it was insurgents who fell in battle, so the criminal case was closed.
By law, a court case is closed, you can not re-tried. However, in 2006, almost 20 years after the fact regarded as res judicata the Government of Hugo Chávez reopened the case in court pursuing soldiers and policemen who took part in the committees.
Most of the identified, left the country and sought asylum. The most important objective for the Government, has been Henry López Sisco that when reopened the case in court, he was a security officer Manuel Rosales.
López Sisco went to Costa Rica where he was benefited asylum and yet a month ago he hung on the risk of being deported at the request of the Venezuelan authorities.
The general condemnation Sánchez according to judicial officials explain, was because he "accepted responsibility" as well as responsible to all those officials who accompanied him on the mission, both the police and the military.
A Sanchez was assigned as a place of detention home in Maracay, as well as his age, nearly 70 years, suffered a serious illness.
Who is Alexis Sanchez?
People have been linked to the case in court, assured this columnist that Sanchez suffered a terminal illness, which agreed with the Ministry Public assuming his guilt, as well as responsible to other officers, in return for which was assigned his house arrest.
The background of this officer, are certainly not the most deserving. Alexis Sanchez paid six years in prison in the United States for drug trafficking. He was caught red-handed in 1992, a DEA undercover operation when trying to negotiate 50 kg. of cocaine. His name is outlined in the book Dope, Inc. "the English researcher Lyndon Larouche.
Consequences of Hugo Chavez's government is not really interested in Alexis Sanchez capture general, but first point out the government of Jaime Lusinchi-time of the incident, as a violator of human rights, and secondly the extradition to Venezuela of Henry López Sisco and other police officers who have asked asylum in other countries.
Indeed, the obstacle that they have encountered several of these officials to be granted asylum, is that the accusation against him in Venezuela, has to do with violation of Human Rights which does not allow asylum protection . With the recognition of responsibility by the General, the Venezuelan government has an argument to demand that Costa Rica for example, to hand over López Sisco. In fact, on Monday, insisted on the extradition request against the Commissioner General.
