SANTO DOMINGO.- Two Dominican brothers were extradited Thursday night to the United States where they accuse of several murders for hire in New York City, the Drugs Control Agency (DNCD) announced Friday.

Jose del Carmen and Héctor Ramon Piña, arrested recently in Santiago, face charges of killing their compatriots Jose Suárez and Juan Carmona, according to the documents from the South District Court sent to the Justice Ministry.

The detainees as well as their victims allegedly formed a key part of a drug trafficking network in New York and other nearby cities of NY State.

Three U.S. Marshals escorted them aboard Delta Airlines flight 494, said DNCD spokesman Roberto Lebrón, who affirmed that the brothers conspired with others, including inmates and fugitives, to murder their victims for large sums of money.

"the only reason they are being extradited is because they didnt have enough money to bribe the dncd..."

Not so. It is very hard, if not impossible to bribe DNCD in cases where there is an extradition request by another country. If it's a DR matter only then yes, they are for sale.

I wonder how long extradition process took, since we seem unable to complete process for tony Lena. Maybe he is better connected, or has mounds of dirty laundry on some officials. Certainly, it cannot be satisfying Dominican law, since we don't seem to have any.

Wish US gov't would really flex its muscles and demand some meaningful and concrete reforms in Dominican judicial system. I hate the intervention, but we don't seem to be able to do it on our own. A good start might be to withhold aid, revoke a few key visas.
