Without a clue of the responsible of the crime, the case of the journalist Gabriel Cruz Díaz prescribes today

The case prescribes without knowing the causes or the authors of the crime.  In June of 1996 the prosecution in charge of the case ordered the suspension of the investigation and today the case is filed.
