William Santos Divas, aka The commissionerpurges a 48 -year sentence for the murder of the lawyer Rodrigo Rosenberg Marzano. Santos Divas was the leader of a band dedicated to sicariato and was captured in September 2009 along with six of his accomplices.
Santos was transferred to Pavón on September 26, 2018 and began to make alliances until he obtained control of the talachas and the sale of illicit within the prison center.
The friction between Santos Divas and Alfredo Godoy, aka The Lord of Heavenincreased in recent months. Both wanted prison control, researchers indicated.
Santos Divas was imprisoned in sector 5 “A” and some inmates commented that at least 12 inmates guarded him.
In that place, the National Civil Police (PNC) and the prison system carried out an operation on April 10 to transfer Santos Divas to another jail, but the deprived of liberty allegedly shot at the security forces.
The PNC reported that it located 14 firearms, rifle ammunition, 36 cell phones, two tablets, drugs and cash.
That day, Sergio Vela, who still served as general director of the Penitentiary System, commented that they had already received complaints of anomalies within that prison center.
He added that Pavón’s prisoners sent a request to the DGSP authorities to express their disagreement against Santos Divas.
“We decided to enter a requisition to be able to transfer this person to another center and maintain it in an isolated way,” said Vela.
The investigators pointed out that alias the commissioner had a dispute with Alfredo Godoy, the lord of the heavens, for the control of the prison.
Santos Divas, from prison, recorded a video and confirmed that “a while ago” had helped Godoy to avoid being transferred to another penalty.
“Now he,” said Godoy, “is the one who coordinated my transfer,” Santos said.
The researchers pointed out that the weapons were supposedly used by Santos and their bodyguards to threaten other inmates and demand the collection of Talacha.
