Diosdado Cabello Rondón
Ministry of Interior Relations,
Justice and Peace
Under this ministry fall both the Scientific, Criminal and Forensic Investigations Unit (CICPC) — which held the victim's registration and identification records — and the National Forensic Medicine and Science Service (SENAMECF), which had records of his death.
Alfredo Ruiz Angulo
Ombudsman
The Ombudsman's Office website states that this office "is responsible for the promotion, defense, and oversight of the rights and guarantees established in the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and in international human rights instruments." Furthermore, the Organic Law of the People's Ombudsman establishes in Article 15, Section 2, that the office may intervene in habeas corpus actions, habeas data, injunctive relief, and other judicial actions or appeals "when deemed justified." Further along, in Section 5, the Ombudsman is required to "watch over the rights and guarantees of persons who, for any reason, have been deprived of liberty, held, institutionalized, detained, or in any way have had their liberty restricted."
Douglas Rico
Director of CICPC
Every detainee is processed at CICPC headquarters, where photographs are taken and a complete file is created containing personal and identifying information. The victim should have been brought there and had all his data recorded — including his mother's contact information — yet she was never notified of anything.
Tarek William Saab
Prosecutor General / Head of the Public Prosecutor's Office
The Public Prosecutor's Office is supposed to guarantee "legality, constitutional rights, and the exercise of public criminal action," as well as direct criminal investigations, order investigative steps, and file charges. However, when Carmen Navas went to the office, her requests were ignored. Those requests fell directly under the purview of the Directorate of Human Rights, the Directorate of Human Rights Investigations — both of which should have commissioned a prosecutor to investigate the forced disappearance — and the Directorate of Sentence Execution, which should have verified the conditions of the victim's detention. The Prosecutor General, despite being aware of the case, did nothing.
Luis Gabriel Montaño Hernández
Director, Military University
Hospital "Dr. Carlos Arvelo"
This is the hospital where the victim was treated after presenting with "upper gastrointestinal bleeding" and where he remained for at least 9 days before his death. The doctors and nurses who cared for him were aware of this death — which must also be on record in the hospital's own data systems.
Daniel Ramírez Herrera
Public Defender General
He is responsible for leading, overseeing, and guaranteeing the right to free legal defense and access to justice for all citizens — especially the most vulnerable. He therefore holds authority over the public defender assigned to the victim's case. Article 14, Section 8, of the Organic Law of Public Defense states that among the Public Defender General's duties is the power to "request the cooperation of and coordinate with the various authorities of the Republic to best fulfill his functions, who are obligated to provide it."
Luis Felipe Cádiz
67th Prosecutor, Metropolitan
Area of Caracas
He is the prosecutor handling the case. He was required to be fully informed of the victim's place of detention, transfer, and death. When the victim's mother went to the Prosecutor's Office, she was given no information.
Dionita Coronado
Level III Defender, Investigation, Mediation and Conciliation Unit — Metropolitan Caracas Ombudsman's Office
She signed an appearance record at the Metropolitan Caracas Ombudsman's Office on behalf of the victim's mother, Carmen Navas, who had gone there in October 2025 to demand due process for her son. At that time, the Ombudsman's Office reportedly confirmed that the victim — who was already dead by then — had been transferred to the 67th Prosecutor's Office days earlier. Consistent with the principles and duties of the People's Ombudsman, Coronado was required to initiate and carry out on her own initiative "the verifications and investigations necessary to clarify the facts," reaching out to the various institutions that could confirm the detainee's whereabouts.
Lissett Moreno
Director of the National Forensic Medicine and Science Service
(SENAMECF)
According to statements the victim's mother made to various media outlets, she personally visited morgues to check whether her son had died. Why was she never officially informed that he had passed?
Carlos Liendo
Judge, 2nd Counter-Terrorism
Control Court
He was the judge who charged the victim with terrorism, terrorism financing, criminal association, treason, and conspiracy. From that point on, the accused remained behind bars by his order — and for that reason, he was required to guarantee "the fundamental rights and legality" of the criminal process during both the preparatory (investigation) and intermediate phases, as established by the Organic Code of Criminal Procedure. The notification that the victim had been transferred to the Military Hospital — and had subsequently died — should have reached him.
Julio García Zerpa
Minister of Prisons
The ministry he leads is required to maintain complete records of all detainees and their legal status. Decree 8,266 — which established the Ministry in July 2011 — states in Article 2, Section 3, that the minister must regulate the organization and operation of the prison system (and every facility within it), as well as "issue, formulate, oversee, and evaluate policies that uarantee the safety and custody of those awaiting trial (...) in strict accordance with Human Rights," as outlined in Section 7.z
Alexander José Martínez Endeiza
Director of Rodeo I Prison
This is the detention facility where the victim was held and where he was allegedly tortured and given food that made him sick. The Organic Penitentiary Code states in Article 122 that when an inmate is transferred for medical reasons, "the executing judge must be notified immediately so that the appropriate jurisdictional decisions can be made." Since the victim had not yet been sentenced, this notification should have gone to the control judge handling his case.
