San Cristóbal, DR.- Starlin Silvestre Corporán, known as Starlin HD, a 23-year-old influencer and content creator, has apologized to President Luis Abinader and his mother after threatening the President in a video that circulated widely on social media, news outlets, and WhatsApp groups.

Corporán explained that he created the video in response to the viral attention surrounding the attack on Donald Trump on TikTok, and he did not anticipate the serious consequences of his actions. He admitted that it was a mistake.

On Sunday, the National Police reported that Corporán was transferred to the San Cristóbal jurisdiction and will face the Public Prosecutor’s Office. Following the video’s viral spread, Corporán turned himself in to the authorities and was taken to the police headquarters. The Central Investigation Directorate (Dicrim) handled his transfer for legal proceedings.
