The diplomat Carlos Guillén Tatis, agricultural and commercial attaché of the Embassy of the Dominican Republic in Haiti (Pétion-ville), was kidnapped around noon in the Gautier district (commune of Croix-des-Bouquets) by the Gang "400 Mawazo (according to a source from the Dominican chancellery to AFP), while he was on his way to the Dominican Republic where he was to spend the long May 1st holiday with his family.

The alert was issued on Friday evening after confirmation that Carlos Guillén Tatis had never crossed the border at Jimaní as planned and was not answering any phone calls.

In a diplomatic note Faruk Miguel Castillo, the Dominican Ambassador accredited to Haiti informed the Haitian Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the kidnapping of the Dominican diplomat and filed a complaint and made a request for investigation to the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police in Haiti, in accordance with the instructions received by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Roberto Álvarez. He also provided, at the request of the Haitian authorities, a screenshot of the last telephone calls made on Guillén Tatis's telephone.

His relatives are very worried, recalling that Guillén Tatis has been an insulin-dependent diabetic for several years, and if he does not take his insulin he risks a diabetic coma and death...

Last minute : According to the Dominican press, the "400 Mawazo" gang demanded a ransom of 500,000 US dollars for the release of the diplomat.
