According to Police director, Ney Aldrin Bautista, the Dominican driver who was supposedly kidnapped a few days ago in Haiti had no signs of torture or physical aggression as confirmed by a doctor. He said that the Haitian authorities had no evidence about the supposed kidnapping of Kairon Antonio Peralta. Bautista remarked so-called self-robberies and self-kidnappings are not infrequent, but observed the Penal Code did not provide a clear means to prosecute these types of cases. Bautista asked legislators to consider including these acts of obfuscation as a crime in the code that is being reviewed in Congress, given the significant amount of time and resources needed to investigate these supposed crimes.
He confirmed that in this case, they still did not know if it was a real kidnapping or simply a false claim.
