20/04/2022 10:53:41
Judge Jean Wilner Morin, President of the National Association of Haitian Magistrates (ANAMAH) confirmed that the Superior Council of the Judiciary (CSPJ) had laid off 18 judges.
Among these magistrates hit by this sanction, more than a dozen were placed on unpaid leave for abandonment of post according to our information. It should be noted that laying off without pay is assimilated to a revocation.
The other magistrates are placed on leave for suspicion of corruption or lack of ethics. They keep their pay but no longer benefit from the privileges linked to their function, pending the decision of the disciplinary tribunal, specifies Me Jean Wilner Morin.
Among the magistrates facing charges of alleged corruption, there are among others : the former investigating judge in the case of the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse Me Garry Orélien accused of corruption https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-35770-haiti-justice-accused-of-corruption-judge-orelien-gives-notice-to-pierre-esperance-to-prove-his-accusations.html and Judge Ésaïe Pierre-Louis of Croix-des-Bouquets for having canceled the wanted notice of the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police against Vitelhomme Innocent, Leader of the "kraze Barye" gang of Torcel, ally of the "400 Mawozo" Gang https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-35615-haiti-news-zapping.html
