The Supreme will now be four cases of extradition

The second Chamber of the Supreme Court will decide today on four extradition requests made by United States against equal number of persons accused of drug trafficking, money-laundering, prostitution of minors and other offences.

Which will be known cases include Ramon Antonio del Rosario Puente (Toño firewood), José León Altagracia Corcino (Frankie The Boss), José Antonio Contreras Reyes (Pepe), and the mechanic of plane Miguel Antonio Rosa Ureña (CAT), detained in a pavilion of the Najayo prison extraditables

One of the requests for extradition that has more time on the Supreme Court of Justice is Toño firewood, which started on November 23 last year and Wednesday marks a year of interruptions by a chain of 10 postponements.

Toño firewood is called by United States to answer to charges of drug trafficking, through the Organization and coordination of the transport of u000alarge quantities of cocaine from South America to Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and New York. His case has exhausted longer than followed the former Captain Quirino Paulino Castillo, who met barely a month, and Ernesto Bienvenido Guevara Diaz (Maconi), which took three months.

Requests were made by the Department of extradition of the Attorney General of the Republic which coordinates the Deputy Government Procurator, Gisela Cueto González, and counsel of the Embassy of the United States, Analdis Alcantara Abreu.

The country has delivered more than 215 Dominicans in extradition to United States from 1997 to date.

United States called in January on the Dominican Government the request for extradition and confiscation of the assets of the merengue Franklin The Boss, claimed by a court in North Carolina, to answer on charges of exploitation of children.
