Former Haitian mayor handed over to Haitian police
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (CMC) – Officials in the Directorate of Migration in Haiti on Wednesday handed over Haitian citizen Rosemila Petit-Frére, former mayor of the town Arcahaie and owner of Radio Téle Monopole, to the Haitian National Police, after determining she faced no prosecution in the Dominican Republic.
The transfer took place at 5:00 pm at the Dajabón border that separates both countries.
It’s reported that Petit-Frére arrived from Canada at Gregorio Luperón International Airport in Puerto Plata and was initially detained after intelligence indicated she carried over US$10,000—exceeding international currency limits—and was allegedly linked to illicit activities in Haiti.
During her detention, her belongings were inspected, and she was interviewed by Dominican and international security agencies.
The authorities emphasised that the information collected posed no threat to national security but remains under review.
