A heated political dispute has erupted in The Bahamas following allegations by Free National Movement (FNM) leader Michael Pintard regarding a bag of passports found on a Bahamasair flight. Pintard claimed during a political rally on the eve of the Golden Isles by-election that an internal investigation had been conducted, resulting in dismissals. He described the incident as a bag bursting open, scattering passports on the ground, and suggested the flight was heading south with a package of passports on board.
