Olivier Martelly and the money to build 10 soccer stadiums in Haiti

Olivier Martelly plan to build 10 soccer stadiums in Haiti, one for each Department.

The Government Commissioner Jean Danton Leger has issued a travel ban on Olivier Martelly, the son of former President Michel Martelly, until he can account for the money, hundreds of thousands of dollars, he has received from the State on various projects including the construction of parks and 10 football stadiums in 10 departments of the country. Camille Edward Junior, the present Minister of Justice, has said Government Commissioner Jean Danton Leger is an experienced lawyer. He knows the depth and limits of his power. We might remember that back in April 2012, Oliver and the former Second Lady Sophia Martelly were accused of embezzling money from the public treasury through unauthorized management of a budget of $40 million. Enold Florestal, a courageous man, who filed a legal action asking that Haitian President Martelly's wife, Sophia, and son, Olivier, be investigated for possible corruption, was imprisoned. Serge Joseph, the judge who was investing the corruption charges was threatened and died a suspicious death. The Lower House ordered an inquiry of his death, but revealed nothing.

This picture will stop all rumors about the son of President Michel Martelly, Olivier Martelly as several news sources has recently reported that he was in trouble with the American justice and consequently has been arrested.

Recently on September 5, 2015, Olivier Martelly, the son of Haitian President Michel Martelly was noticed arriving at Montigo Bay airport in Jamaica accompanying his father who came to attend PetroCaribe conference in the city. There were reports that he has been held in the U.S under house arrest in charges of money laundering, tax evasion and narcotic trafficking from Colombia via Haiti to the U.S. The picture of his arrival in Jamaica might put an end to the rumor of his arrest, but it will definitely generate more questions with his underworld connections and freedom.

Corruption Investigation Dogs First Lady

First Lady Sophia and son Olivier have been alleged to have indulged in abuse of authority, money laundering, and wasting public monies.

Marilyn Allien, Haiti Heritage Foundation Director, says Sophia and Olivier have no business administering public monies; that "it is not their role to do that." It gives the appearance of underhandedness.

Martelly himself has been vetted as uninvolved in any corruption activity. Recently he signed a new anti-corruption law that had been languishing in Parliament since 2008.
