Let us also remember that Judith Exavier according to our sources would be part of the circle of relatives of President Moïse. Far from being intimidated, Gassant promises to carry out the investigation to the end and plans to file a complaint. For its part, the Chancellery certainly does not want to see a new scandal in Haitian diplomacy erupt after that of the Embassy of Haiti in the Bahamas of corruption, visa trafficking and arranged marriages involving diplomatic staff and employees of the Embassy... https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-28537-haiti-flash-corruption-at-least-4-haitian-diplomats-sanctioned-in-the-bahamas.html To be continued...
