  1. Who smuggled her into the country was that entity charged?
    Who facilitated her gave her shelter, was that entity charged?
    Where did she enter the country?
    Were there other persons smuggled into the country with her?

  2. Good questions? Was it Nevis she came from? They should also be following up with her accomplice’s. They too need to be charged and nip it in the bud swiftly. It’s not easy to leave Cuba so is she going to deported to Cuba or is she a citizen of somewhere else. Why was she leaving via the airport? She obviously have some connections here and where she came from. Give us some more details

  3. This is going to be extremely tough for her. Once she’s returned to Cuba, she will be incarcerated for sure. It’s just like trying to escape from north Korea, the only difference is that you’re killed when being returned in NK.

  4. She is crazy to think that she could hop in and out without escaping punishment. She should’ve gone to Cameroon or Nigeria and then come to Antigua with Mr. Marvelous Mike and the Money-Hawk would’ve welcomed her, then she could use her boat but only one worry; how to navigate those treacherous waters into St. Kitts and not be swallowed.

  5. So why is Gatson Browne has not been charged for the 1000 so-called refugees that he and Marvelous Mike brought into Antigua with those Antigua Airways flights?

    Where was/is the law when the laws were blatantly broken by this corrupt PM? The biggest fiasco in Antigua’s history, and not one damn person was charged or even investigated.

    Don’t let this corrupt government distract you people. many of these fools needs to be investigated and thrown in jail.

    No one is above the law, no one.

    No wonder we have so much lawlessness and crime in such a small island…it stinks from the top, and every criminal out there sees it.

  6. Good job Antigua!!! only in St Kitts/Nevis an individual that smuggled into the country can marry a foolish native and become a citizen here. I think
    they should have proof of legal entry before they are allowed to marry and gain citizenship
