The question denied having less known and have met with Eduardo Rózsa Flores. The informant said that the "ringleaders" of the organization were and Hugo Melgar and Alejandro Acha.
Villa Ignacio Vargas, alias "Old," revealed to the Public Ministry, the April 21 in La Paz, and the departmental prefects of Santa Cruz, Beni, Tarija, Pando and Chuquisaca knew Eduardo Rózsa Flores and his cronies, with who met on several occasions, but the question deny any connection with the irregular group.
La Prensa had access to a copy of testimony given by former close associate of the militia.
"We traveled to Tarija to Cobija, Sucre and Trinidad. In all cases, we first mobile Pailon up. Hence we included a small plane and then we were going to these places. Germán traveled, Branko and myself, sometimes Mauricio Roca, secretary of the prefect, Roly Aguilera. We were going to meetings. From those meetings knew the prefects of the departments that toured. The pilot was generally Añez Orlando. No one received us. We were in the vicinity and arrived by land. All they knew German, and all members of the organization. "
German Villarroel was the name of fighting Rózsa Flores, while Rock is chairman of the Agricultural Chamber of the East (CAO).
The morning of Thursday, April 16, developed a police operation in the fourth floor of the Las Americas hotel in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, dismantled a militia led by the Hungarian-Croatian-boliviano Eduardo Rózsa Flores and composed by the Irish Michael Dwyer, the Romanian Magyarosi Árpád, the Bolivian-Mario Tadic and Croatian Hungarian elodes Tóásó.
The first three were killed on that occasion and the last two were captured alive and currently incarcerated in the prison of San Pedro.
Villa Vargas was the driver of militia. In his first statements as a witness and not a suspect or accused, the "Old" admitted to having been "contacted" with David Cejas, who was then president of the Cruceños Youth Union (UJC), an entity of which the witness had been president for six years.
Assassination plans
"Old" said also that the band had intended to assassinate the president Evo Morales, vice-president Álvaro García Linera and the Minister of the Presidency Juan Ramon Quintana.
"That spoke constantly told that there was a guy who was going to give more than $ 100,000 to kill Quintana."
When he was asked how they planned to perform the attack if it is the seat of government in La Paz and they were in Santa Cruz, responded that it was the idea of launching the attack in the eastern country.
"Even talking about they had to buy a rocket that cost more than $ 120,000. This money would provide the owner of the Terminal Bimodal, who spoke by telephone including German and had to pick some of the money to do the job. Besides seeking a radar that would place the aircraft in which to carry Quintana Pando using the rocket. "
Counterparts
John Cava, former chairman of the Committee Interests Chuquisaca (Codeinca), was surprised to hear this version.
"It's the first time I hear that these people had been in Sucre and, at least, civic leaders, we never met them."
Sergio Lea Plaza, authority of the government department of Tarija, said: "This is another manifestation of the Government's delirious. The Prefect Mario Cossio never knew much less met with Mr Eduardo Rózsa and people were accused of terrorism. "
He added that the government has unleashed a "political persecution" against Cossío, whom he accused of corruption and other crimes, "none of which found".
As they knew the reasons for the police operation unleashed on April 16, the Santa Cruz prefect Ruben Costas said that it was a "rough assembly" of the Government.
The presence of Rózsa and his comrades in the country is after the dismissal of the former prefect of Pando, Leopoldo Fernandez, while the leaders of the Action Committee PANDIN had sought refuge in Brazil, so it is not possible to interview any of these people to know their position on the matter.
Efforts by the press to talk with the prefect beniano, Ernesto Suárez Sattori were unsuccessful, but in statements given to El Deber, Santa Cruz, former president Alberto Melgar Beni Civic denied any possibility of going to the seat of government to give his testimony. "There are no guarantees in La Paz, which became a concentration camp." Melgar said he did not leave the country.
The group's relations
When the Advisory is now accused of terrorism on individuals and entities with whom the organization maintained relations, the informant said that "with the Youth Union Cruceños. Dr. Alejandro Melgar was the boss, even more than German. He defined how, when and where things were. Acha Dr. Hugo (president of Bolivia-Human Rights Foundation), along with Melgar, were the ringleaders of the organization. "
Melgar had contacts with "people from above." Rózsa Flores was in a taxi, "I heard that was quoted, was generally in the Fair. Frequently asked to speak with Branko (Marinkovic), with the prefect Costas, even I have ever attended these meetings. "
"They met every 15 to 20 days. The safest place was fair, because it has a security perimeter is only where people have permission. If the reunion there, iban a la (Avenue) Monseñor Rivero. Alejandro Melgar, Branko Marinkovic, Ruben Costas, Hugo Acha et al. Generally, all flocked to the call of German (...) At times I found that to collect money if iban Germán Alejandro Melgar and anyone else with even the gringos. "
On other occasions the encounters occurred in the law firm of Melgar, located in the East Building, Santa Cruz. In all cases, the subject under discussion was the funding of activities.
"Everyone knows they provide, but nobody would claim that the funding was made by the CRE, or other institutions Saguapac contributed to the group or the Union of German Youth."
Villa Vargas said that the cell had brought together some 30 firearms, between short and long guns. "
He also mentioned that there was a precision rifle, the type used by snipers, and fell in an apparent contradiction to ensure that Rózsa intended use for the murder of Juan Ramon Quintana San Julián, and not by the impact of a missile.
"They had a yellow car at the fair to say that would put the explosives and was intended to San Julian and I had to explode when the minister Quintana. Germán put 40 kilos of dynamite and C4, four packets, bottles gas, several kilos of steel nails. All this was in the Expo and thought to be detonated with a remote control that was in my German home. This vehicle must go to the coliseum in San Julián. Iban to detonate all the people present at the sporting arena.
"The weapons were bought on the black market: the military, police and the civilians or get sold, you always pay in cash. The always put the silver and Hugo Melgar Acha, but any chance were Guido Nayar, Mauricio Roca et al. After the purchase is carried to the office (Campo Ferial Fegasacruz or Cotas). Gringo clean, managed, and then greased the Rózsa and Melgar (Lucas) are taking deposits, only they knew. "
Rózsa Villa added that he intended to become commander of the Liberation Army of Santa Cruz, whose head was found, in addition to the Hungarian-Croatian-boliviano "Melgar, Acha, Guido Nayar, Branko Marinkovic, Pedro Yovhío, Mauricio Roca, Carlos Guillen, the "gauchos" Horacio D'Arruda and Jose Luis Quiroga and others, but this group was always made the decisions. "
Ignacio Villa will not be subjected to measures of hearing
By decision of the prosecutor Marcelo Soza, director of operational research on the suspected case of terrorism found in Santa Cruz, reported yesterday in The Press, the accused Villa Ignacio Vargas will not be subject to a hearing on relief.
Half said yesterday that the following dialogue with the representative of Public Prosecutions:
- Who can decide to conduct a hearing on interim measures in this case, if you have not asked for this judicial act?
No one then.
In this case, the court trying the case has not yet requested this hearing?
No, no, no, because I have not asked for any measure.
Then, depending on you to carry out this audience?
Yes.
With all due respect, Dr. Soza, what would be the reason for this position?
It is in-charge of the memorial, there are listed all the reasons. The document is in the court. Have you read that. I do not remember, because at the moment I'm resting.
- Then that is discarded in the coming days to conduct this hearing is for precautionary measures?
Yes.
The parliamentary opposition Bernardo Montenegro expressed their discomfort in the week because Villa Vargas was only a witness and the Prosecution had not been charged, although he had voluntarily confessed that he had participated in the activities of the militia led by Eduardo Rózsa Flores.
Following that position, the prosecutor announced that Villa Soza you a charge against the charge of terrorism, which actually made on Thursday in La Paz.
The Code of Criminal Procedure in effect grants certain privileges to the reporting of certain cases. Furthermore, it is possible to consider the physical condition of the person who makes an eventual escape, and the fact of being under the protection of Public Prosecutions.
The "carapintadas" were ready to intervene
In his lengthy testimony, Villa Ignacio Vargas argued that the Argentine military coup known as the "carapintadas" maintained contact with Eduardo Rózsa Flores and people offered to join the separatist militia.
"Once I took him to a reunion at the Hotel Los Tajibos, where he met Dr Asha, a woman and another person told me it was an Argentine military which I remember well the name because it seemed fun. Her name was Mona Ruiz. "
It is likely then that the witness was referring to the former couple George Mones Ruiz. Villa Vargas added that "it was Asha came to the hotel and out, while wearing his hotel, he told me he had done a good deal and that would come the 'gauchos' to train our people. Later I commented that one group came forward and see where he had to accommodate to begin work. I think we arrived about seven, but saw them only once. In these things, he was very reserved. "
"Old" revealed that at one time were raised by the economic differences between Rózsa and Hugo Antonio Acha, but later said that "they were always silver, but Rózsa had in mind putting a whole army. So he told me that he gave money ahead of a Paraguayan named Fernando to bring you a weapon and a half million dollars. He wanted to have a well-formed army, so practices were at the beginning of replica weapons and rubber bullets, because, he said, should see who could really fight, others are magicas said. "
The informant said that in principle, the resources were provided by some employers "and that all employers should pay for the triumph of reason, which had a group that did not and that the others also wanted to leave, but for them the subject already had a solution, that when he left to abduct the children of some who are not making the payment to begin with and would suit all you need fast. I commented that it abduct the children of the richest silver never have made "so that when they pay, we all did.
"He did not want to pay ransom, which he wanted to make, but strong, as those chosen in the top were the sons of those who have never contributed, he said that everyone had to give."
The driver of the group said that Peter Yovhío, president of the Federation of Private Entrepreneurs of Santa Cruz, ordered to pay to the member associations, although the recovery was not easy.
While Melgar was the first to autoexiliarse, Asha went to United States to meet family obligations and left the presidency of Bolivia Human Rights Foundation, which was subsequently reorganized under the direction of collegiate Centa Reck, Fernando Martinez and Emilio Cuellar, author of the Citizen X work on the political life of President Evo Morales.
In looking
"In the beginning they told me in March that planned to kill the minister Autonomies, Carlos Romero, because he already had problems before with Santa Cruz. In addition, there was an owner of land who do not know why I wanted to pay for his death. This man named Cuellar.
"In principle, the primary victim was Evo and Alvaro, so when arriving in Santa Cruz, they were observed and noted in particular how they led their team to safety."
"It was once a High Parapetí because, as I said Rózsa, the place was the field, when they returned from his trip, he looked at me and, as joke, I said 'That colla a 50 meters, who has no protected '. "
"We began talking of killing the minister Rada, because it was in war with Santa Cruz and once had to put a high respect for us."
"He came a Turkish, met with Rózsa and told me I had to kill the minister Quintana, the Turkish are willing to pay $ 120,000, out of what you would buy for the job. I found a story, but in front of me and immediately called him and asked Fernando to rocket down a plane.
"I was scared and told me that is the case, ours will become worse if the are not the pants, and laughed."
"Thereafter, I began to have much fear, because I realized that it was easy to kill them, so I recorded on my cell while they were at a barbecue. In this recording clearly say that they should have made the flying boat and that ministers had to do it. "
"In this recording, Rózsa counted in another country was to plant a bomb and gave the wrong address, but placed it, and between laughter, said he killed another family by mistake (...) From then on I was much more fear, always thought he would kill me at any time. He also spoke of Fidel Surco, Félix Martínez (San Julián civic leader) and others. "

Deputy Autonomies Saul Avalos, was another "coup" of the cell.
