the colonel Isabelita de los Santos Perezwho until this Monday was in charge of the “El Coco” Vehicular Retention Center or Greyhound Track, said this Wednesday that he did not know the figure of the Ombudsman and that they had told him that it was a mob that had entered the place.
When asked about the attacks they suffered on OmbudsmanPablo Ulloa and journalists at the dog track, the officer stated that the agent at the center had called her to tell her that a mob had entered the center.
“When I went downstairs they called me from the door that a mob entered, for me they were citizens of those criminals who have been coming there for a long time to steal motorcycles, vehicles and property that belong to others,” he said.
He added: “I was in my office and they called me (and told me) Commander, a mob of citizens just entered for the greyhound track and that is supposed to be someone else’s property, that is not my property.”
Regarding the golf club with which the officer appears in several videos published in the media and social networks, De los Santos Pérez maintained that “he has always had that club.”
“I’m not going to go out and defend myself with my eyes and bare hands,” she added when interviewed on the program El Sol de la Mañana on Zol FM.
He maintained that until last Monday he did not know who the Ombudsman.
“At the time he (Pablo Ulloa) arrived, I don’t know who he was, I had never seen him in my life… Until this date I didn’t know the Ombudsman until now that I see it in the media, I did not know about that figure, “he said.
The officer explained that she was appointed as the dog track manager in May 2021.
