Haiti - FLASH : Official request for extradition of the Dominican Republic 01/01/2019 09:40:46
He said he sent the request for extradition of these foreigners to the Ministry of Justice of Haiti through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MIREX). "We have completed the legal process so that these Haitian citizens can be extradited from their nation to the Dominican Republic, so that they can respond to the country's criminal justice system, for allegedly associating in the murder of Julio Reyes Pérez Matos and causing serious injuries that subsequently caused the death of Mrs. Neyda Miladis Urbáez Féliz, in order to steal them," ensuring that the rules of national and international law guarantee Bom brothers have their right to a fair and regular trial.
