Search at the Ministry of Sports: ULCC Seizes Over One Million Gourdes in Presumed Corruption Case

The Anti-Corruption Unit (ULCC) confirmed having conducted a search, Wednesday, at the premises of the Ministry of Sports, as part of an ongoing investigation for over six months.

According to statements from the ULCC Director General, Mr. Hans L. Joseph, the operation led to the seizure of several pieces of evidence, including documents, digital media, and a safe containing over one million gourdes. This amount is reportedly linked to a disbursement of 50 million gourdes made during Flag Day.

In a statement published by the institution, the ULCC indicates that these funds may have been embezzled, and that the seizure is part of a broad operation aimed at establishing the truth about the management of these public resources.

This case raises numerous questions about transparency within the Ministry of Sports and highlights the ULCC's strengthened efforts in the fight against corruption in Haiti.

The investigation continues, and further actions may follow in the coming days.
