SANTIAGO, Dominican Republic (defend.ht) – A Dominican police officer and a former Dominican police officer were apprehended by the Dominican police on Monday for an attack taken against a Minister of the Republic of Haiti.
The Minister of Haitians Living Abroad (MHAVE), Daniel Supplice, and members of his family were pulled over by three (3) men in police uniforms. They pulled over the minister's 4 by 4 on a South National Route into the country.
The would-be assassins said they were part of a police anti-drug unit and searched the minister's vehicle, minding to ask for identification and insurance.
Minister Supplice says they asked him to step out of the vehicle and it was then he realized something was improper as the other officer to the right pulled a firearm on his wife.
They took phones, money, anything and everything of value from the minister who was visiting the neighboring Republic to attend the wedding of a family member.
