A group of 78 Dominican ex-convicts, including physician Pedro Rafael Gonzalez Pantaleon, arrived in Santo Domingo yesterday after they were deported from the US. They flew in on a DC-9 aircraft rented by the US Department of Justice. Gonzalez Pantaleon had been sentenced to five years and six months under Medicare fraud charges. He said he will call for a press conference in the upcoming days to tell the truth on his imprisonment. Diario Libre reports he had been arrested by INTERPOL in Amsterdam in 2000 for committing a US$25 million fraud against the US health insurance system.
