The Attorney General’s office has entrusted Argentine lawyers Luis Moreno Ocampo and Roberto de Michele with the Dominican state case against Martin Palmas de la Calzada and Luis Martin Palmas, husband and son of the former Argentinean ambassador in the Dominican Republic, Teresa Meccia de Palmas. Justo Pedro Castellanos Khoury, of the Attorney General’s office, empowered the lawyers to request the extradition of the former diplomats on behalf of the Dominican government. The former diplomats are sought in Santo Domingo for questioning as to their involvement in the assassination of 12-year old José Rafael Llenas Aybar.
