Detention in Puerto Plata of Ángel Martínez
Ángel Martínez was arrested this Monday by the Dominican authorities after arriving in the country aboard a cruise ship that docked at the port of Puerto Plata. According to official information, the communicator was intercepted when he was trying to return to the ship after having published a video on social media in which he claimed to be “without problems” on national territory.
Arrest warrants are pending against Martínez for alleged accusations of defamation and extortion, which is why legal mechanisms were activated as soon as his presence was detected in Dominican territory.
