In the case, Maj. Gen. Adán Cáceres, former director of the Presidential Security, the preacher Rossy Guzmán, Col. Rafael Núñez de Aza, the group’s supposed financial mastermind; Lt. Col. Raúl Alejandro Girón; police corporal Tanner Flete Guzmán (Guzman’s son), and Navy Lt. Com. Alejandro José Montero
