Quinto Dia columnist Sebastiana Barraez recalls that slain state prosecutor Danilo Anderson phoned her after an interview to say hers was the first interview in which a reporter put down exactly what he said. "I called him by phone around midday on the day they killed him... it was brief and to the point."
Anderson told us that he would charge all those that signed the Carmona Act on April 12, 2002, adding that "there are several wanted for embezzlement."
Anderson never liked politics, Barraez comments, and to call him the "state prosecutor of the Revolution" is incorrect because it gives the impression that he was partial against the opposition.
During the interview, Danilo insisted that he was above all a professional. "It's true that I have key cases against the opposition but I succeeded in sentencing the ultra-Chavista Manuel Arias," he said. "I used a legal recourse because I believed that the Llaguno Bridge shooters must respond for use of firearms and public intimidation --- I denied Freddy Bernal's complaint against the garbage company."
Danilo wasn't liked by fellow state prosecutors --- only six attended his funeral.
For Danilo, justice was for everyone and he never understood why the security forces had not arrested military officers, such as General González González and Felipe Rodríguez.
The prosecutor told Barraez that he received death threats from the Metropolitan Police (PM) and the Altamira military officers.
