SUBJECT: DOMINICAN FUGITIVE YSRAEL MUSTAFA BERNABE
EXTRADITED TO THE U.S.
1. On September 13, 2006, U.S. Marshals returned Ysrael
Mustafa Bernabe to the United States for sentencing in the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, where
he is the subject of indictment number H-95-245, filed
October 6, 1995. As detailed in the indictment, Mustafa was
charged with: conspiracy to launder monetary instruments
(count one) and illegal money laundering (count two). Though
Mustafa entered a negotiated guilty plea to the first count
of the indictment on February 26, 1996, he ultimately failed
to appear for sentencing and fled the jurisdiction.
2. Following the issuance of a Dominican arrest warrant based
on a U.S. Government request for extradition, Mustafa was
apprehended June 5, 2006, by officers of the Dominican
National Directorate for Drug Control's Fugitive Unit.
Mustafa challenged his extradition before the Criminal
Chamber of the Dominican Supreme Court, but was ruled
extraditable on August 9, 2006. His extradition was properly
confirmed by presidential decree on August 18, 2006.
3. Mustafa is the 27th fugitive extradited to the United
States during FY-2006 and the 17th extradited during this
calendar year.
