Santo Domingo.- The United States Government has requested the extradition of the notorious Manuel Emilio Mesa Beltré (El Gringo), on drug trafficking charges, said Supreme Court (SCJ) Penal Chamber president Hugo Alvarez Valencia Thursday morning.

He said the request will be addressed next week together with others whose names he didn’t specify.

Agents arrested Mesa in the capital’s Villa Maria sector while in a BMW SUV, and seized RD$4.3 million, which the authorities say is product of his vast drug sales in poor barrios.

Alvarez said the requests would be processed regardless of the defendants’ “caliber” and warned that the Justices won’t bow to pressure neither from drug trafficking nor society in general, in that or other cases.

The judicial official spoke prior to joining a mass to mark the Day of the Judicial Branch, officiated in the church La Paz.

Here goes another can of worms about to be opened, get ready my fellow Dominicans this is the start of a new year with many episodes to be revealed. Here is just a preview of things to come: beheading, kidnappings, snitching, Colombian neck ties, suicides, assassinations, disappearing acts, US invasion and maybe even coup d'état.

Well finally some pressure is going to be placed on those in charge of these investigations, in order to get things done. I mean watching and reading about all this stuff is almost like whatching a Keystone Cops movie. Lets dust off the Guillotine, cause heads are about to role.

Thank God for the USA and our justice system.

DR has proven both corrupt, complicitous and inept, at all levels of the judicial and gov't, so someone with character and respect for the law must step in.

Gringo, welcome home. Party is over-thank God!

revolution needs to happen, however noone in that country is fit to lead, then at any time that our government ceases to function we'll have a haitian invasion, trying to take advantage of the turmoil, invasion of illegal haitians that is.
