Danton Leger

Here is a picture of Roro Nelson who is a fugitive wanted by Government Commissioner Danton Leger.

Ronald Nelson, alias Roro Nelson, a close associate of former President Martelly was summoned by the Government Commissioner of Port-au-Prince on April 11, 2016 to appear before the court on April 15, 2016. Since he did not respond to the charges of theft, extortion, and embezzlement of state fund, an arrest warrant was issued against him on Thursday, April 14. During the Martelly regime, he captured properties of more than 50 expatriates. Now, he is a fugitive from Haitian justice. A travel ban has been issued against him. Recently, the Government Commissioner Danton Leger was shocked to see Roro on television performing with former President Michel Martelly in a Haitian musical event in Miami, Florida. Leger is planning to take the help of INTERPOL to arrest him and bring him to justice.

May 27, 2016, Eustache St Lot, former director of BMPAD kept in custody by the prosecutor of Port-au-Prince to face with the former minister Wilson Laleau.

Mr. Eustache Saint-Lot, the former General Manager of BMPAD (Monetization Office of Development Assistance Programmes), was held in custody along with his lawyer Patrick Maitre Lawrence by the Commissioner of Port-au-Prince Parquet, since Friday, May 27 till June 3, 2016. They were kept under an order of the Director of the Public Prosecution at a police station in the capital, awaiting the arrival of the former Minister of Economy and Finance, Wilson Laleau who is traveling abroad. However, they were released later on a bail of 100 million gourdes. Wilson Laleau spent five years in the Martelly administration as the Minister of Trade and Finance. He has been also summoned by the new Government Commissioner of Port-au-Prince. Mr. Jean Danton Léger. As per opinion of the new Government Commissioner Léger, Mr. Eustache Saint-Lot and former Minister Wilson Laleau had given contradictory statements against each other in separate hearings in regard to the management of PetroCaribe fund amounting to $1.5 million. The Commissioner wants to question and hear these two men together in the same place and at the same time "to get the truth out of the bottom of the well."

Since the interim President Jocelerme Privert came to power, he has repeatedly denounced the disastrous state of the public finance and has reiterated his commitment to eliminate the looting of public funds, as much as possible. However, as per the last news, the Government Commissioner Jean Danton Leger is still waiting for Minister Wilson Laleau's return and Minister Laleau has not shown any sign that he will come to the rescue of his friend. There is a general opinion that the PetroCaribe fund was a frequent subject of embezzlement by many political partiers during the regime of Michel Martelly.

There is a major confrontation with Roro Nelson who was invited in court and Jean Danton Leger. Who will have the last laugh.

Ronald Nelson, alias Roro Nelson was summoned by the Government Commissioner Jean Danton Leger to clarify the allegations of theft and extortion brought against him. This close associate of former President Martelly was first summoned by the Government Commissioner of Port-au-Prince on April 11, 2016, with a scheduled date to appear on April 15, 2016. Since he did not respond, the prosecutor of Port-au-Prince issued a warrant against him on Thursday, April 14. The spokesman prosecutors Mirlande Dupiche Prévost had explained that this warrant has been issued after he shunned two invitations of the Government Commissioner of Port -au-Prince Mr. Danton Leger to appear before him. In the mean time, some preventive actions against him like travel ban to leave the country, have already been taken. Some of the allegations brought against him include: awarding Oliver Martelly a several million US dollar contract to construct a large sports complex, extortion on money on properties of citizens, etc. Now, it is time for us to watch who finally retreat-- Roro Nelson or Danton Leger.

Here is the picture of Jean Danton Leger, the new Government Commissioner of Port-au-Prince

Since his installation as the new Government Commissioner of Port-au-Prince, his several statements have reaffirmed his determination to fulfill his mission under the law, impartially. However, in the first week of April, the new departure prohibition against man Marc Antoine Acra (drugs were found in his cargo of sugar), the CEO of NABATCO (National Bag and Trading Company), as well as that against the Director of the National Port Authority Alix Célestin made a great noise, because in Haiti, initial ban was arbitrary and illegal and a government commissioner or an investigating judge is not empowered to set a prohibition against a defendant. Danton's move, as per some political and economic analysts, gives the impression of a modern day Sheriff who is not ready to stop ever.
