In a video released by the PNB, the detainee can be seen, admitting that he participated in the fact under investigation. “Being required by the death of Admiral Quintero… which I was a participant with El Indio and El Bemba, who at the time caused his instant death…”, says the man having the initials of the Dcdo in the background.
