Me Yves Martial, the Chief Prosecutor of the Court of Appeal of Gonaïves, this week in his oral argument, requiered the reversal of the order of closure made by the investigating judge Dieunel Luméran in the case of the important seizure of weapons in Saint-Marc in September 2016 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-18569-haiti-flash-worrying-seizure-of-weapons-from-the-usa.html
