Santo Domingo.- The United States embassy yesterday said it will study to see what it implies for the current legal processes, the National District Court of Appeals ruling on Ernesto Bienvenido Guevara Diaz’s (Maconi) extradition,which disregards the ex Army captain Quirino Paulino’s agreement with the New York Office of the Federal Prosecutor.

“We’re going to study that decision and what it implies for the present legal processes,” said U.S. Embassy press attaché David Searby.

He said he continues in believing the importance of the cooperation between the Dominican and U.S. authorities, as evidenced with the Paulino case. “That cooperation between both nations is essential in the war against drug trafficking.”

Another judicial process related to the Quirino case was heard Tuesday in the Supreme Court, which declined to rule on a request for continuance by the lawyer who represents the United States in the country, to file additional documents to sustain the extradition of Guevara, now being held in a cell for extraditables in the jail at Najayo.
