German on the run recaptured for child pornography
German national Heinrich Christlieb, alias Sacha, has been captured. He had been sentenced to 20 years for child pornography. He was captured trying to flee via Haiti to Paris, France on Friday 10 May 2019. The arrest was carried out by the Public Prosecution Service, in coordination with the National Police and Interpol.
On 1 April 2019, 76-year-old Christlieb was convicted by a Puerto Plata court of child pornography in violation of Law number 53-07 on Technology Crimes and the Children Protection Law 136-03.
At the time of his arrest, he was allowed out on bail but an exit impediment was set, meaning he could not leave the country.
Because of his attempt to leave, the Puerto Plata Prosecutor’s office has asked for bail to be revoked and for him to go into preventive custody. Hoy reported that in addition to his attempts to avoid serving jail, it appears he had continued his child pornography business while out on bail. A new case will be heard against him.
