Hoy Digital reports today that Regino Martinez S.J. denounced that human trafficking alongside the Haitian-Dominican border still goes on, using trucks, buses and motorcycles.

According to the same source, Martinez declared that Haitians gather around an area called La Gorra, in Dajabon, from where they are taken to other points within the Dominican Republic; also, that in one particular case, corrupt authorities at a border check-point resorted to detention only when the driver of a vehicle loaded with Haitians offered a final amount of 20k pesos as bribe, instead of the 50k the authorities demanded.
