SANTO DOMINGO.- From February 2 to March the Supreme Court’s Law Penal Chamber has issued 10 arrest warrants against 10 Dominicans wanted by the U.S. in extradition and implicated in the case of Quirino Paulino, the High court said officially.
Supreme Court president Jorge Subero, quoted by newspaper El Dia, said the Penal Chamber issued four arrest warrants on February 2 against as many Dominicans wanted in extradition, against five others on March 13 and one more on the 17th.
The specifics of the warrants aren’t made public until the suspects are detained, to prevent difficulties in those arrests, stemming from the 1,387 kilos of cocaine seized on December, 2004, which led to Paulino’s arrest.
The United States has requested the extradition of a yet-to-be determined number of Dominicans implicated in the case of Paulino, who is being held in a New York prison.
Of that group the first arrested is Ernesto Bienvenido Guevara Diaz (Maconi), whose extradition request is slated to be heard Wednesday.
The United States, aside from the Paulino case, has filed other charges against him.

Me too! I am just glad something is happening... (even if it is four years later). I hope the US judicial system can move further and faster.
Good news! I guess I can give one "At-a-boy" to US DEA (now, you know this does not happen often).

You don't honestly think they are going to give up the big fish yet, they are throwing pawns into the game. Lets see how long it takes to reel in the full 21 requested two weeks back or even more.
Do you not think people are being paid or told to delay on the 21 warrants awaiting to being issued, some of these people are friends with the great man himself. That would be embarrassing would it not should it ever come out.
The more money you have longer your season pass lasts in "Fernando's World".

They have no option to give some of them up to protect their friends, it has been officially requested by the US they come and get fitted out for their "jump suits". Remember they see the this type of activity as a threat to their national security. However lets see how long it takes to hand them all over if it ever happens.

The drug cartels are the de-facto goverment in many mexican states. When was the last time a chief of police was killed by drug traffickers in the DR. The day that happens we will line 'em up on the street and shoot 'em all. We mean business! We are not a failed state; we are a functioning democracy where the rule of law is the norm and not the execption...

oh i been here in the DR for a long time to be robbed in bayaguana by a police man. to be mugged in sabana perdida for giving 300 pesos to a kid then his older brother or whatever hits me over the head. Been here enough helping the women rights to learn majority of men in this country have no respect for order, law, work and education. DR is no where close to a functioning democracy. The DR is a perfect example of kid who still hasnt learned to grow up. And mexico chief of police was killed becuase he was doing his JOB.

I do not disagree that in the past the DR was a perfect example of a failed state (one that would have given Somalia a bad name!); but things are very different now. Thanks to the dedication and exemplary leadership of President Fernandez and his Administration; we a moving decidedly forward into the 21st century. I would suggest you travel to my homeland once more and see for yourself. We have made tremendous progress over the last six to eight years. You would be rather impressed by what we have accomplished so far (Did you know we are now the largest economy in the Caribbean; with a nominal GDP of US $90bn for 2007)...?

Functioning democracy, are you for real, this is a country for 4 years that allows people to live in wooden huts with tin roofs with no sanitation. When it comes election time gives them food parcels to the equivalent to $60 and free T'shirts and asks them to vote for them.
Yes your previous presidents have not been any better but it does not make him any good.
He has the privilege of dealing with the uneducated when it comes to winning elections and votes which he plays very well. Other than election time, when does he go into barrios.
Obviously you have never been in barrio recently or paid a cop off. Please if your going to go and say things in this forum. It would be an idea to make sure its the reality and not anything else.
Do you even live in the DR?????

I am still here and nothing has changed sence the last time i been here and that was 12 years ago. the west side can change all it wants still leaves east side and north side. mony GDP doesnt mean anything the PEOPLE hasnt learned ANYTHING.

My father has always "hustle some things" to make ends meet. He tells me this is the first time in his life when he is not living day to day. He started a metal recycling business and is doing very well. Even my younger sister is prospering (about to purchase her third car. A new vehicule this time).

There's corruption everywhere, including here in the almighty USA. We see it on TV now on a daily basis. Teenage pregnancy? We have one of the highest in the world. Drug and substance abuse? Why do you think that we have so many people tripping over each other to get this coveted illegal substance into the US? If we didn't crave it, there wouldn't be a market. It's simply, "oferta y demanda" ("supply and demand'). Let's not forget that this country was also built with the sweat of slaves. Blacks got the right to vote (officially became human beings) just a few years ago.
