US embassy cable - 04SANTODOMINGO4014

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

 1. (U) On July 7 the Dominican Supreme Court once again 
postponed trial proceedings for PRD Congressman Guillermo 
Radhames Ramos Garcia, accused of alien smuggling in a July, 
2000 incident.  According to news reports, the chief 
prosecutor asked for a delay in order to issue a summons to 
several key witnesses.  The trial will resume at the Supreme 
Court on 1 September 2004. 
 
2.(SBU) As a result, the case is scheduled to be considered 
after the August 16 inauguration of the Leonel Fernandez 
government.  The President-elect has given no indication of 
his choices for any positions, either at cabinet level or at 
working level.  Embassy will continue to stress with the PLD 
transition working team the need for prompt and effective 
prosecution of cases involving illegal immigration and 
trafficking.
