Haiti - justice : Mayor of Petion-Ville accused, claims his innocence
Tuesday, the mayor of Pétion-Ville, Dominique Saint-Roc, accompanied by his two deputy mayors and his lawyers, went to the public prosecutor's office of Port-au-Prince to respond to accusations against him, about his possible intervention in the recent release of Jean Hilaire Ladouceur aka "Lèlè" a bandit suspected of involvement in the assassination of the police officer Rigaud Claude, Sunday 11 December https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-19501-haiti-security-a-young-24-year-old-police-officer-savagely-assassinated.html

It is a Commission of 7 commissioners and substitutes commissioners of the government who heard behind closed doors Mayor Saint-Roc, indicated Jean Danton Léger at the end of the hearing, specifying that the police officers who were on duty at the police station of Petion-Ville on the release of "Lélé" were also heard.

Commissioner Danton said that due to contradictions between the statements of the Mayor, the Commissioner of Police of Petion-Ville and those of the National Police of Haiti (PNH) linked to the arrest of "Lélé", the case was transferred to the investigation office of Judge Jean Wilner Morin for a thorough investigation indicating that Mayor Saint-Roc is charged with at least three counts, including "complicity of assassination and criminal association [...]"

For his part, Dominique Saint-Roc continues to affirm that he has nothing to do with the recent release of Jean Hilaire Ladouceur "It is not worth getting lost in idle discussions. The name of any individual requesting the release of a suspected bandit is always recorded in a register, whether it be the President of the Republic or another. It is up to the judiciary to shed light on this issue. I have nothing to do either close or far with any bandit" claiming to be a victim of political lynching in the media and that he was wrongly accused.

The mayor of Petion-ville is expected to be heard again by Judge Jean Wilner Morin at the investigation office on Wednesday 14 November.
