On Monday July 21, 2014 Magistrate Gill threw out the charges against Wiltshire and codefendants Nash Mitchel, Kimana James and Lyndon Marie. The four were accused of forging documents that allowed foreign nationals to obtain Dominican passports.

Wiltshire has maintained his innocence arguing that the charges against him were politically motivated. According to Wiltshire he signed a document for one of the foreign nationals, which allowed him to obtain a new passport after claiming that his original passport was stolen.

Mitchel, Marie and James were at the time employed within the government service and were accused of forging as much as thirty birth papers, which allowed foreign individuals mainly of Iranian nationality to obtain Dominican passports.

Wiltshire admitted to knowing one of the individuals involved but denied that he was part of an elaborate passport scam. At the time Wiltshire remarked that “the impression given on some of the news stations that I in fact have something to do with this scam is absolutely nonsense. The people of Dominica know that since 2000 I have been outspoken in my attacks upon the selling of passports to people we don’t know.

“That is a very dangerous thing and it has brought us to this present problem that we have. It has now corrupted some of our key institutions like the Registry. It has corrupted the Passport Office as well. And it is in fact put people like myself in danger from scammers who come and give us wrong stories,” he said.
