Detective Juan Ángel Pantoja, from the Scientific, Criminal and Criminalistics Investigation Corps (Cicpc), was arrested on July 5 by officials from the General Directorate of Military Counterintelligence (Dgcim) for investigations into alleged extortion.
Unofficial sources told Radio Fe y Alegría Noticias that the ongoing investigation is related to the escape of businessman and rancher Reyes Gabriel Hernández, who was deprived of liberty for the crime of fraud against the government of Apure.
It was learned that the following day, in the afternoon, he was taken to the headquarters of the organization to which he belonged in San Fernando to be reviewed. There, he was able to inform his companions about what was happening and that he feared for his life.
On the morning of Thursday, July 7, Cicpc officials learned of Pantoja’s death. However, when they went to the Dgcim headquarters with a forensic doctor to start the investigations, they prevented her from entering and refused to hand over her body.
Ángel Juan Pantoja Carreño was 32 years old. He was a detective attached to the Cicpc, San Fernando de Apure delegation. Until the moment of his death, he was working on secondment at the Security University, UNES, in the region.
His students and relatives deny that he was apprehended inside the educational compound. They also demand that the high command of the Cicpc and the Dgcim collaborate with the investigations. Some demand that the chains of command also be sanctioned.

A new autopsy performed on the body of detective Juan Pantoja determined that the official did not die of suffocation by hanging, as the first report indicated, but drowned after being submerged in a pipe with water.
In this check-up it was certified that Pantoja also received several blows to his head, chest, stomach, arms and legs, even suffering from a stroke and abundant fluid in his lungs.
