The Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force (ABDF) confirms that one of its members is currently under investigation in connection with a criminal offence involving an illegal substance.
In keeping with its obligations under the Defence Act, 2006, and guided by the principles of due process, the ABDF initiated internal proceedings to address the matter in accordance with established military protocols.
However, it was determined that the case would proceed under civilian jurisdiction.
The ABDF assures the public that it is working in full collaboration with the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda to ensure that justice is served.
This joint approach reflects our unwavering commitment to transparency, accountability, and the rule of law.
The ABDF remains steadfast in its responsibility to uphold the highest standards of discipline and integrity.
We recognize the importance of maintaining public trust and national security, and we will continue to cooperate fully with all relevant authorities in this matter.
