1. (U) This cable contains an action request. See
paragraph 5.


2. (U) On February 11, 2005, two fugitives were returned
from the Dominican Republic to the United States in the
company of a U.S. Marshal. Denny Alberto Sandoval, reftel A,
is wanted to stand trial in the Southern District of New York
on federal narcotics charges. Jose Antonio Capellan, reftel
B, is wanted in the Southern District of New York to be
sentenced and serve his sentence for a guilty plea on a
federal narcotics charges.


3. (U) Both fugitives were arrested by the Dominican
National Directorate for Drug Control (DNCD) on arrest
warrants issued based on USG requests for extradition. Upon
learning that they had been arrested on extradition requests,
both fugitives asked to waive their rights to an extradition
hearing and be returned as soon as possible to the United
States. In consultation with the Dominican Assistant
Attorney General in charge of extradition cases, Dr. Gisela
Cueto, both fugitives executed a witnessed, notarized
affidavit indicating their desire to voluntarily return to
the United States to stand trial or serve sentences.


4. (U) The return of Sandoval and Capellan represent the
fourteenth and fifteenth fugitives subject to extradition
returned to the United States during the second
administration of President Leonel Fernandez. They are the
first and second fugitives returned from the Dominican
Republic to the United States in 2005.


5. (U) ACTION REQUEST. The Dominican Attorney General's
office has requested the USG provide it with the final case
disposition and sentences in all cases in which a fugitive
subject to extradition is returned to the United States.
Embassy Santo Domingo requests the Department and the
Department of Justice provide us case disposition and
sentencing information on Sandoval and Capellan as soon as it
becomes available.
