They observed \u201cjustice is good\u201d in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An indictment from the Southern District of Florida charges Baltazar Mesa and Tapia Perez with being top associates of the Peralta criminal organization to import, distribute and promote cocaine in Florida and New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the Second Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice postponed for 6 September 2019 the hearing on the extradition request against Sergio G\u00f3mez D\u00edaz, who is accused of being a leader of the network of the alleged capo Peralta. G\u00f3mez D\u00edaz&#8217;s lawyer indicated that he has another criminal case pending in the Fourth Collegiate Court of the National District. &#8220;Gomez Diaz is being prosecuted for violation of the Drug Law, Money Laundering and association of criminals,&#8221; his defense said. He said his client already has already posted bail and cannot leave the country. The lawyer has asked the judges to postpone the extradition process to the United States against Gomez Diaz until the process in the country is concluded and he is released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An editorial in El Dia points out how the deals drug traffickers have struck with US justice officers have worked well for these. Among those who have been extradited and were able to keep big fortunes are Quirino Paulino Castillo, Ernesto Guevara D\u00edaz (Maconi), Antonio del Rosario Puente (To\u00f1o Le\u00f1a) and Yubel Enrique Mendez M\u00e9ndez (Oreganito).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/noticiassin.com\/el-boludo-y-baltazar-aceptan-ser-extraditados-a-ee-uu-otro-cabecilla-tiene-causa-pendiente-en-el-pais\/\">Noticias SIN<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ktsa.com\/former-mlb-stars-caught-up-in-largest-drug-bust-in-dominican-republics-history\/\">KTSA<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/elcaribe.com.do\/2019\/08\/27\/panorama\/pais\/baltazar-mesa-tambien-acepta-ser-extraditado-eeuu\/\">El Caribe<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diariolibre.com\/actualidad\/justicia\/involucrado-a-red-de-cesar-el-abusador-acepta-ser-extraditado-a-estados-unidos-DD13897206\">Diario Libre<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/listindiario.com\/la-republica\/2019\/08\/27\/580001\/baltazar-mesa-vinculado-a-cesar-peralta-lo-que-sea-me-toca-y-cuando-toca-toca\">Listin Diario<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/hoy.com.do\/porque-alla-la-justicia-es-buena-firman-extradicion\/\">Hoy<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/eldia.com.do\/extradicion-premiada\/\">El Dia<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>28 August 2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jos\u00e9 Jes\u00fas Tapia P\u00e9rez, alias &#8220;Bola Negra&#8221; or &#8220;El Boludo&#8221; and former baseball player Baltazar Mesa (El Maestro) agreed to travel to the United States to answer to charges of trafficking, possession and distribution of cocaine in that nation, as well as to their alleged links to the Cesar Emilio Peralta Drug Trafficking Operation.
