The Dominican authorities in charge of prosecuting money-laundering offenses are preparing cases against people who have been extradited from the United States after serving sentences for drug trafficking. According to German Miranda Villalona, the director of the anti-money laundering department at the Attorney General office, his people are taking the word of new US Ambassador James Brewster who spoke of the need to correct the weaknesses in the extradition laws that are being taken advantage of in both countries. One of the areas that need modifying is article 10 of the extradition agreement that deals with discovery and the corpus delicti against the extradited persons or fugitives when they are sought in other countries since this is a restrictive interpretation by the US authorities. Mirada Villalona said that he hopes that the law will be expanded since the nature of criminal activities has changed since the original treaty of extradition went into effect in 1909.
