In a country where justice is dispensed at a snail’s pace, the murderer of Altamira Joao de Gouveia was sentenced to 29 years in prison only four months and nine days after killing 3 people in that Square. Why do I complain? Easy, consider the following:
– The killer used a Glock and killed three people and injured 27. De Gouveia was a sometime waiter, turned cabdriver through the generoristy of the Chavez Government. He received large money transfers in US dollars in the year prior to the murder, but this was never investigated fully. Where did he learn to shoot like that?
-There is a TV clip made two days earlier and shown then repeatedly in which the Mayor of Libertador, a close Chavez supporter, district helps unload weapons at PDVSA headquarters right before it was surrounded by Chavez’ Bolivarian circles. A man resembling the assasin of Altamira is shown to be there very close to the Mayor. This was never investigated or me,ntioned again.
-Chavez himself defended him two days after the murders. Imagine, the man who insults everyine, called the assasin “This, gentleman” and despite the man’s confession Chavez said he had to be found guilty first. Chavez also showed that day DE gouveia’s passport saying the man had arrived from Portugal only two days earlier and thus could not ahve been in the country earlier in the week.
– Bullets different than those by the assasin were used in the shootings and recovered from the bodies of the injured. (All of those killed had bullets from the Glock). The bullets were said to be rifle bullets by both the Mayor of Chacao Municipality and the Head of the investigative police. Nobody ever said much about this second (or third?) shooter.
Thus, it seems to convenient to bring the man to trial so unusually fast. Now he will be sent to jail. Will he escape? Be killed? Just dissapear without a trace? We shall see….
