A Haitian pastor who was wanted for smuggling weapons was arrested in the neighboring Dominican Republic earlier this week and handed over to the local police.
The arrest of Pastor Dieune Day follows an incident in 2022 in which customs officers searched duty-free containers and found weapons.

The containers arrived in Haiti under the cover of the franchise held by the Episcopal Church of Haiti.
The day was the subject of a wanted notice from the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police (DCPJ) for tax evasion, smuggling, breach of trust, and criminal association.
He is currently in police custody pending legal proceedings. CMC
