Henriq Girigori Martha, a Dutch national with a background in alleged criminal activities particularly related to drug trafficking and money laundering, was extradited to the Netherlands. He had been arrested in April 2024 by the Dominican Republic’s National Drug Control Agency (DNCD) during a search operation in the La Lometa area of Sabaneta in San Juan de la Maguana province. He was extradited to the Netherlands via Las Americas International Airport on 4 October 2024.
Martha is accused of importing significant quantities of cocaine between 2017 and 2019, as well as engaging in money laundering activities during the same period, according to the Northern Netherlands Public Prosecutor’s Office.
The DNCD said the extradition order was contained in Decree No. 424-24. According to the presidential decree, the extradition is contingent upon the condition that Martha will not face charges for any offenses other than those related to his extradition.
The DNCD says the extradition reflects the Dominican Republic’s commitment to enhancing cooperation with allied nations in combating drug trafficking, money laundering, and transnational organized crime.
