The US government wants the DR to proceed with the extradition of 130 Dominicans, most sought to be tried for homicide, drug trafficking, organized crime or money laundering. The individuals have sought refuge in their home land. On the list to be deported is a former DR ambassador to the United Nations, Rafael González Pantaleón, who was sentenced for Medicare fraud. News reports state that most of those who are sought roam free in the DR, have not been located by Dominican security authorities, or have returned clandestinely to the US.
