“Trapped”: Antario’s man is still the charges of the accusations in the Dominican Republic, who cannot return to the house

and Ontario The man was cut off in the man dominican republic For more than two months, despite the fact that all criminal charges against him have been dropped and the judge confirmed his freedom.

However, the administrative delay and the restriction of Canadian intervention has left David Bennett unable to return to their homes.

The ordeal began with a state of wrong identity that involves a yellow bag with drugs at Punta Cana Airport. But this is no longer the problem.

Bennett’s wife was fighting hard to bring him home, but she is facing a lot of delay.

“All charges have been dropped,” said Bennett’s wife, Jane Wilkox. “We learned on April 14 that all charges would be dropped … On Friday, we learned that it would take from a week to two weeks to remove travel restrictions.”

What keeps Bennett in the country now not the application of the law, it’s papers.

According to Bennett’s lawyer, Gary Boucher, “one to two weeks is not in any way. It is definitely not legal or anything to our knowledge.” He explained that the case is not an official ban on travel, but rather a delay in clearing his name from the national databases.

In other words, it seems to be a purely administrative Holdup, with Bennett’s freedom depends on the speedy update of local systems to reflect that the fees have been dropped.

“It is just a result of withdrawing the charges that have not yet been filled with their data systems,” Botcher explained. “So that Dave can leave the country when it is presented at the airport – there will be no authority that will get data indicating that he is not allowed to leave.”

Booscher said that the regime in Punta had to update its records so that Bennett would not stop again when he tried to fly.

“We are waiting for the administrative wheels to turn,” he said. “The challenge we face is to find effective ways to present to the authorities of the Dominican Republic.

“Because of the very important emotional and psychological distress that Dave and his family suffered, we want to achieve this as soon as possible.”

Wilkox’s work tirelessly to escalate the matter. She said, “We have asked the ambassador and global affairs to pressure the government,” only to repeat the feeling of urgency that there is an innocent Canadian wandering there. “

For Wilcox and Bennett, the delays affect a dangerous emotional ancient. Wilkox said: “It is exhausted.” “He is just trying to bypass the days … he feels stumbling and feels weak.”

RCMP also stated that they recently arrested a similar case to Bennett.

“We have been arrested related to alter the signs of luggage and the export of drugs, but we are not directly associated with the case of Mr. Bennett or the luggage of that trip. A similar method, but not for his case. The investigation is continuing by the Dominican Republic police.”

For Wilkox, the news confirms the approval of the detention of her unnecessary husband. “The bad guys or girls are caught. So let the innocent man go home.”
