Immediate release of E.R.W. : his notification on the Interpol list was a mistake
The Prosecutor’s Office ordered on Friday July 8 the immediate release of E.R.W. (45). He was arrested on Wednesday July 6 on St. Maarten by members of the St. Maarten Police Force, after he appeared on Interpol’s most wanted list, suspected of crimes committed in the Dominican Republic. After his arrest the relevant authorities in the Dominican Republic were contacted.
His release was ordered after information gathered from authorities in the Dominican Republic confirmed that E.R.W.’s notification on the Interpol list was a mistake.
In addition the Prosecutor’s Office and the St. Maarten Police Force, also based on information gathered from the authorities in the Dominican Republic, vehemently deny reports on the internet/in the media that E.R.W. is suspected of sexual abuse against minors.
