In a significant diplomatic engagement, Dominican Attorney General Yeni Berenice Reynoso convened with U.S. Ambassador Leah Francis Campos at the Attorney General’s Office in Santo Domingo to solidify bilateral security cooperation. The high-level meeting focused on developing comprehensive strategies to combat transnational criminal networks threatening regional stability.
Accompanied by Deputy Attorney General Wilson Camacho and key U.S. officials including Rebecca Márquez, Kaleb Sanderson, and Enrique Corral, both delegations addressed critical security challenges encompassing narcotics trafficking, money laundering operations, and sophisticated organized crime syndicates. The dialogue emphasized creating synergistic approaches to strengthen institutional capabilities across hemispheric borders.
Reynoso acknowledged the strategic partnership with multiple U.S. law enforcement agencies, particularly highlighting the instrumental role of the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This tripartite collaboration facilitates real-time intelligence sharing, technical assistance programs, and coordinated operational activities with Dominican entities including the Public Ministry and National Directorate for Drug Control (DNCD).
The Attorney General specifically emphasized the transformative impact of INL-supported initiatives such as the Joint Task Force against Organized Crime, which provides specialized training and advanced technological resources. This commitment includes the provision of state-of-the-art equipment and expert-led training programs designed to enhance Dominican law enforcement’s capacity to dismantle criminal networks, underscoring the indispensable value of international partnership in maintaining national and regional security frameworks.
