The Ministry of Immigration and Nationality continues to investigate how two citizens of the Kingdom of Nepal were granted entry to Belize on landing at the Philip Goldson International Airport on Tuesday last, despite being considered high risk. News Five understands that they arrived on a COPA Airlines flight but their current whereabouts are unknown. C.E.O. Edmund Zuniga would not share details of the investigation today except to confirm that it is ongoing.
