Dominica has issued a Citizenship Deprivation Order, which effectively cancels the citizenships of 68 individuals who had obtained their status through the country’s Citizenship by Investment Program (CIP).
The order, signed by Minister for Citizenship Miriam Blanchard and gazetted on June 6th, 2024, maintains that “the scheduled persons obtained registration or certificate of naturalization by means of fraud, false representation, or the concealment of a material fact” and that “it is not conducive that a scheduled person continue to be a citizen of Dominica.”
The order lists the names, nationalities, and citizenship dates of those affected.
More than half (53%) of those affected are of Iraqi origin, followed by Pakistanis (21%), Egyptians and Iranians (6% each), Nigerians and Syrians (4% each), Afghans (3%), and one Sudanese and one Jordanian national (1% each).
The individuals named in the order obtained citizenship between November 2019 and May 2022.
Send them to Antigua and Barbuda because greedy Gaston will grant them their CIP. A criminal doesn’t refuse criminals.
