Lidija Rizvanovic and her partner Massimo Dalla Mora have told the local media they were subjected to extortion by a colonel at the International Police (Interpol) office on the third floor of the Police headquarters. The couple says that after a minor traffic accident near their home on Delgado Avenue they were taken to the Interpol offices at the National Palace. Speaking to Hoy, the couple claims that they were threatened with deportation and even told they might lose their Dominican-born child. When his wife left the room, Dalla Mora alleged that the colonel said that he would not deport him if he paid US$30,000. He would have to leave his passport, as well as his daughter's and a cell phone, as reported in Hoy. If he did not return, he was told he would be declared a fugitive from justice and could even be killed. The couple is calling on the Police, the General Prosecutor's Office and the Chief of Police to look into the matter. The Police recently announced the suspension of the officer in charge of the Dominican division of Interpol, Colonel Frener Bello Arias.
