Prominent Belizean DJ and document runner Eterio ‘DJ Cas’ Castillo has publicly refuted allegations of financial misconduct leveled by his former employer, Vega’s Distributors. The company alleges Castillo misappropriated over $32,000 through unauthorized cash collections from clients across Belize City, San Pedro, and Orange Walk.
In an exclusive interview with News Five, Castillo presented his defense against the accusations. “I’ve never stolen any money,” he stated emphatically. “I signed a contract to pay what I owe based on what we agreed upon during our discussions.”
The controversy emerged when Vega’s Distributors conducted an internal audit revealing numerous unpaid balances from commercial clients. However, subsequent investigations uncovered that these businesses had already submitted payments directly to Castillo through cash transactions or transfers to his personal banking account.
Addressing claims of evading law enforcement, Castillo asserted: “I am not fleeing the country. I’m here. I’ve never gone anywhere. I am not wanted by the police department.” He claimed to have contacts within the Belize Police Department who would have notified him of any active warrant.
When confronted about allegations from social media commentators suggesting similar past behavior, Castillo challenged his accusers: “I’ve always told people well then go to the police and report it.”
Contrary to Castillo’s assertions, subsequent verification with Benque police authorities confirmed that an active warrant exists for his apprehension regarding questioning in the investigation. The discrepancy between Castillo’s claims and official police statements adds complexity to the unfolding legal situation.
