For­mer Gov­ern­ment Min­is­ter Donville In­niss who was con­vict­ed of mon­ey laun­der­ing in the Unit­ed States, re­turned home late Fri­day af­ter spend­ing two years in prison.

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.

In­nis served a short­ened sen­tence for good be­hav­iour.

Speak­ing with re­porters on ar­rival, In­niss said it was great to be home.

“De­spite all the tri­als and tribu­la­tions I’ve been through the last four and a half years, these five min­utes here of be­ing back here in Bar­ba­dos among fam­i­ly and friends erased all of what I’ve gone through,” he said.
