They accepted a US government invitation to meet the administrator of the DEA, Anne Wilgram and Ronald L. Davis, director of the United Marshals Service, Renita Denise Foster, director of the Caribbean Division, and Clifford Brown, deputy director of the Caribbean Division.
They were accompanied by the supervisor of the Santo Domingo Office Caribbean Division of the DEA in the DR, Melitón Cordero and by the US Marshals investigators Silvestre del Rosario and Sasha Zacarias.
The administrator of the DEA and the US director of the US Marshals congratulated the Dominican Government for the recent operations dealing hard blows to drug trafficking and organized crime.
