Convicted money launderer Donville Inniss is expected back in Barbados soon after spending two years in a United States prison. A source close to the former Minister of Industry, International Business, Commerce and Small Business Development told Barbados TODAY that Inniss is returning to Barbados around month-end, following deportation.
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 of 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. On April 27, 2021, Inniss was sentenced to two years behind bars and a further two years of supervised release at the end of his jail term.
Last October, the former Democratic Labour Party (DLP) politician lost an appeal against his conviction.
