Santo Domingo.- The journalist Julio Martínez Pozo, warned this Wednesday morning that they will confront those who spread "absurdities" about the Jet Set case, a tragedy that left a balance of more than 230 dead and 189 injured on April 8th.

"In our plans, there is no confrontation with victims who are in the midst of their pain, their sadness, their losses, making the claims they deem pertinent, it is an understandable and respectable thing, I am referring to anyone who is implementing actions as victims of this tragedy, however, I want to warn that there are other people who have decided to become part of this, including some media owners and some businessmen, pulling some strings and trying to take this plot even further than the legal qualification itself," said the communicator on the El Zol de la Mañana program.

In his comment, Martínez Pozo added emphatically: "We will be seeing each other, at some point we will be seeing each other".
