Attorney General Jean Alain Rodríguez has urged Argenis Contreras, suspect in murder of lawyer Yuniol Ramirez, to return to the country to face the charges. Contreras is currently in the United States and Rodriguez has asked him to hand himself over to the Dominican authorities.
Rodríguez said that the Public Prosecution service would house Contreras in a jail with decent facilities and he would be treated well. Rodriguez confirmed that AG’s office is in talks with the United States about Contreras’ deportation back to the Dominican Republic. Rodriguez noted that the US government has already been ordered Contreras to be deported. He also explained that the time Contreras has been held in jail in the United States would not be counted as part of his sentence in the Dominican Republic.
