The lawyer representing a Dominican businessman, who was detained in Antigua on his arrival at the VC Bird International Airport, earlier this month, has filed a lawsuit against the Commissioner of Police and the Attorney General, seeking EC$100,000 in damages.
Police had arrested Dowlin Alexander based on a notice issued by INTERPOL on behalf of the French government. He was kept in a holding cell at the police station before being returned to Dominica without any charges being laid against him.
Attorney Wendel Robinson says the arrest was a breach of his client's rights under the CARICOM treaty and all the regional policy rights dealing with free movement within the Eastern Caribbean.
