The New Dominicans

PASSPORTS OF THE CARIBBEAN

The following list includes just some of the people reporters identified as having acquired Dominica passports. Across our stories and this interactive, reporters have chosen to highlight only those cases felt to be within the public interest either because of their public office or because of allegations against them. The Dominican government did not respond to reporters’ questions about whether any of these peoples’ Dominican citizenship has been revoked.
