The fact that it is members of the Brigade of Intervention and Research (BRI) and of the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police (DCPJ), who were seeking the fugitive in Buenos Aires to bring him in Haiti is "a step in the right direction" stressed dy Jean Gardy, who also took the opportunity to congratulate the Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe, who has argued for "no obstruction of justice".
