DOMINICAN REPUBLIC/POLAND
Dominican Today
Santo Domingo.- Polish journalist Miroslaw Wekly on Monday said his country’s public opinion was surprised with the arrest of countryman priest Wojciech Gil (Padre Alberto) on Sunday, on charges of sexually abusing seven boys in the Dominican Republic.
Speaking on Skype from Krakow, the journalist said he and other colleagues had traveled to the mountain town of Juncalito, northern Santiago province, and other places where the prelate allegedly committed the abuses. “Gil claimed that the charges against him were a plot by drug traffickers in the region but when I was in Juncalito, no one mentioned this, and the priest mentioned this only after his arrest.”
Wekly, speaking on CDN channel 37, added that Gil is expected to be interrogated in the Polish capital of Warsaw.
