Former President Danilo Medina traveled to and from Miami, Florida in a private jet. He left and arrived to the La Isabela International Airport.

As reported in Diario Libre, he was picked up by his chauffeur at the airport. Medina did not say with whom he traveled to Miami. Media photos show him descending alone from the private jet that brought him from Miami. He had traveled by private jet to Miami.

The former President of the Republic (2012-2020) said on his Twitter account upon returning that he has prostate cancer. He explained treatment by medics in the Dominican Republic did not give the expected results so he traveled abroad for new consultations. He said he will return to treat his cancer in the United States.

The American Cancer Society says on prostate cancer: Prostate cancer can be a serious disease, but most men diagnosed with prostate cancer do not die...

Thinking out loud, I've always wondered who pays for the private jets everyone uses?

Do you think they already have an arrest warrant out for him?

I certainly would not expect the guy to travel coach on Jet Blue sitting next to some sunburned slobbering tourists via Punta Cana.

I am following the social media in DR 😊
I learned from all comments that he will be requested by PECA in order to testify, about all corruption case where even close members of his family are involve.

He is the top dog!

Former Presidents of the United States of America routinely travel on private jets.
So, I am wondering why flying in a private jet is questioned or even news.
Anyone, and I do mean Anyone can fly on a private jet.
Hey, I have even done it. (insert laughing emoji here)

A charter flight from DR to the US might cost a fortune.
But he can probably get a good discount from his buddy "El Penco" Gonzalo Castillo who is being investigated too.

I wish him a speedy recovery and may G-d forbid that any "deteriorating" condition might not hinder his arrest.
Medina is a member of the Parlamento Centraoamericano (PARLACEN), the Central America Parliament, and cannot be arrested as long as he is a member.

Like Trump, he owns a plane and fly it and cost taxpayers zero dime. Smart.

Your statement is inaccurate.
You referenced FPOTUS #45.
And I can assure you that when he travels in his personal plane it costs the United States taxpayers plenty.
Now, is the security in the Dominican Republic for former presidents the same as in the United States of America?
I do not know.

Readers of my posts that consider themselves educated but still do not understand.
I will explain how it works exactly to them.
But it could be considered off topic.
Do not know if the moderators will allow it.

I have no doubt that all of the four living Presidents have entitlements during and after their terms in office including travel and security arrangements and the fact that Danilo used the services of a private charter firm would be considered no different than if Mejia or Leonel or Abinader needed to have specialist treatment in the USA . None of these people just travel by themselves .

It does say something for the state of the healthcare system he left behind that he cannot get treatment for his condition in his own country. Can you imagine any ex-president admitting to that in a better-run country?
