Army Commander In Chief Major General Ruben Paulino Sem has praised First Lieutenant Manuel Benitez Montero, Sergeant Major Cornelio Santana Ferreras and Sergeant Pedro Encarnacion Carrasco for the capture of Haitian fugitive and convicted kidnapper Clifford Brandt together with two other fugitives (Jaroli Morinvil and Toussaint Richardson) who had escaped from the Croix-des-Bouquets jail to the northeast of Port-au-Prince.
The military officers received letters of recognition for their performance at the Army headquarters yesterday, Wednesday 13 August 2014.
The Haitian fugitives were arrested when found without documentation near Hondo Valle in the southwestern DR. They were sent to Jimani for formal handover to the Haitian authorities. The men were captured following a major intelligence effort to prevent the Haitian fugitives from entering Dominican territory.
Border patrols were stepped up following the notification that 329 men had escaped from the jail.
