BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – Former Government Minister Donville Inniss, convicted of money laundering in the United States, has returned home after spending two years in prison.
The 57-year-old former St James South Member of Parliament, who resided in Tampa, Florida, was convicted in January 2020 after a one-week trial on one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering and two counts of money laundering related to his laundering US$36 000.
Prosecutors said he moved bribe payments from the Insurance Corporation of Barbados, through a New York dental company, between 2015 and 2016.
Innis served a shortened sentence for good behavior.
On arrival, Inniss said it was great to be home.
“Despite all the trials and tribulations I’ve been through the last four and a half years, these five minutes here of being back in Barbados among family and friends erased all of what I’ve gone through,” he said.
