The Attorney General and the Migration Agency have announced the deportation of US citizen Robert Anechiarico following allegations of pimping and promoting sexual tourism to the Dominican Republic. Anechiarico was the owner-manager of the Rumba Bar in Sosua, Puerto Plata. He was deported to the United States via Las Americas International Airport. Attorney General Francisco Dominguez Brito requested his deportation after the authorities established that Anechiarico was residing in the DR illegally.
“The Attorney General Office has instructed the Special Prosecutors Against the Illicit Trafficking in persons and immigrants to arrest anyone who promotes the country as a sexual destination, and to deport them,” said Dominguez Brito.
