In its latest report, dated November 13, 2012, on the case Clifford Brandt, the National Network for the Defence of Human Rights (RDDDH) deplores that the National Police of Haiti (PNH) "authorizes its active agents to engage in parallel activities."

RNDDH considers that this is a great danger, because these agents can easily be placed on the payroll of gang leaders and unlawfully enrich themselves, stating in its report that "in such circumstances, it is difficult to ensure the morality of police troops."

Recall that among the 15 people arrested in the case Clifford Brandt, are found justly five police officers involved in the security of the Brandt family and of its factories.

The report of the RNDDH precise the status of each police arrested :

"Marc-­Arthur Phebe, officer, responsible for CAT Team at the National Palace, is also responsible for the security of the Brandt family as well as its plants. He had under his command about 90 employees among them, four (4) police oficers. He receives a monthly income of 220,000 gourdes.
