“Mr. Luis Revilla has fled from justice and his situation is complicated. Who has nothing, fears nothing, and the fact that Revilla has fled and declared himself in hiding demonstrates his guilt. It is sad to see that a former authority does not face the population and does not explain what happened to the irregular tenders,” he said, who was prosecuted for the burning of the same municipalities in the 2019 conflicts.
Last night, Revilla declared himself in hiding, after the Prosecutor’s Office issued an arrest warrant against him and summoned his wife, Maricruz Ribera, to testify. “Today I am in hiding and I will be like this as long as possible and we continue to request more elements that confirm even more that (Jesus) Vera burned our 66 PumaKataris,” he says in a manuscript that was spread on social networks.
