They were bribed by none but the twice President of the Republic of Haiti, René Préval. However, in spite of paying the bribe, Lumarque was ousted from the presidential race for lack of discharge. In response, the three accused have vehemently denied the allegation and have said they will sue for justice against Jonas Coffy for defamation.
