Summary:

In October 1985, Miguel G. Recarey, Jr., former President and Chairman of the Board of International Medical Centers, Inc., failed to appear for a hearing in U.S. District Court in Florida on charges of bribing an officer of an employee welfare fund, bribing a potential federal grand jury witness, and illegal wiretapping. Mr. Recarey fled the United States in October 1987, beginning an international fugitive investigative effort covering at least three continents and 11 countries. This report discusses whether (1) the Departments of Justice and State made a good-faith effort to locate and gain custody of Mr. Recarey, (2) Justice Department officials contacted the Venezuelan government on this matter, (3) the Venezuelan government told the U.S. government that it had tried to find Mr. Recarey, and (4) the U.S. government followed standard operating procedures to locate and gain custody of Mr. Recarey.
