Communicator Miguel Ortega has offered new data on the judicial process involving merengue artist Gilberto Julián Sarante Perdomo, known as Julián Oro Duro, after the death of his wife, Zeneida Socorro Castillo. In an interview conducted on the digital program Las Exclusivas by José Peguero, Ortega stated that people close to the artist played a role in planning the incident that took place at the singer’s residence in Santo Domingo.
Participation of people linked to the case
Ortega explained that, according to the file of the Ministerio Público and family information, Philip Michael Tejada Vázquez, one of the accused, maintained a close relationship with Julián Oro Duro and his family. The communicator pointed out that Tejada Vázquez performed several jobs for the artist and shared with him trips and professional activities.
According to Ortega, Castillo knew the man and received him normally in the residence, before the fact that is currently part of the investigation by the authorities.
Economic motive and recovery of funds
The communicator also highlighted the presence of more than $50,000 in cash in the singer’s house, coming from income obtained during a US tour. According to Ortega, part of that money was destined for personal projects of the artist. The authorities recovered approximately $33,000 and several valuable items.
Rejection of versions spread on social networks
During the conversation, Ortega rejected publications that attempted to directly link Julián Oro Duro to the murder. He stated that the merengue artist was under medical attention and had undergone procedures for the injuries he suffered. He also questioned the actions of certain people who, according to him, had maintained communication with an investigated person before he presented himself to the authorities.
Current state of the process
The authorities maintain four men under investigation, who received 18 months of preventive prison. The Office of Permanent Attention in Santo Domingo Este classified the file as complex, which will allow the Ministerio Público to have a longer period to continue gathering evidence and establishing individual responsibilities in the case.
