1. On November 29, 2006, U.S. Marshals returned Baudilo
Espiritusanto to the United States to serve sentence for a
federal narcotics-related offense in the State of Texas, as
detailed in Count One of indictment number CR H-00-875, filed
on December 11, 2000, in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of Texas. Under a plea agreement,
Espiritusanto plead guilty on April 5, 2001, to conspiracy to
possess with intent to distribute in excess of five (5)
kilograms of cocaine; a crime with a mandatory minimum
sentence of ten (10) years and a maximum possible sentence of
life imprisonment. The actual sentence imposed was
twenty-five (25) years.
2. Following the January 19, 2006, issuance of a Dominican
arrest warrant based on a November 30, 2005, resubmission of
a 2003 U.S. Government request for extradition, Espiritusanto
was apprehended November 22, 2006, by officers of the
Dominican National Directorate for Drug Control's Fugitive
Unit (DNCD). Espiritusanto made a knowing, voluntary, and
intelligent waiver of his right to challenge the extradition
before the Criminal Chamber of the Dominican Supreme Court.
His extradition was properly confirmed by presidential decree.
3. The return of Espiritusanto marks the 26th
Dominican-national fugitive returned through or in lieu of
extradition proceedings during CY-2006 (the 8th for FY-2007).
