BELMOPAN, Belize, Sep 9, CMC -Prime Minister John Briceño says he has instructed Police Commissioner, Dr. Richard Rosado, to proceed on 45 days leave “in the first instance” as the controversy over the “abduction” of a Belizean national and his surrender to Guatemalan authorities took yet another turn.
Last week, Prime Minister Briceño had asked his Home Affairs Minister, Kareem Musa, to provide an update over the controversial “abduction” of Ryan Joseph Budna.
On August 24, the Belize Police Department said it had officially launched investigation into an incident involving Budna, which occurred on August 22.
“The Policia National Civil (PNC) of Guatemala has confirmed that Mr. Ryan Joseph Budna is in their custody pursuant to an arrest warrant; however, they have not disclosed the details surrounding his apprehension,” the police said, adding that it’s own investigation was initiated based on an official report filed by a witness to the event.
