NASSAU, BAHAMAS- Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Eucal Bonaby stated that no evidence has been uncovered to date to support corruption allegations against immigration officers at the Carmichael Road Detention Centre.
A recent report from the United States also raised similar concerns, claiming that The Bahamas did not proactively screen for human trafficking among vulnerable communities in 2023.
Bonaby noted that the officers allegedly involved have not yet been identified.
Minister of National Security Wayne Munroe stated he has full confidence in the police force to investigate alleged bribery allegations against a senior police officer.
The Minister was responding to a local daily’s article which claimed he had changed his tone on whether the police force can investigate police officers.
He noted that it’s important to have faith in the system but also to have an independent oversight.
