Currently actively sought by U.S. federal authorities, Joseph Wilson, often referred to as « Lanmò San Jou », is one of the main leaders of the 400 Mawozo gang and a member of the designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, Viv Ansanm.
In a wanted notice circulated on social media, the United States announced a reward of one million dollars for any information leading to his arrest or capture.
This week, Wilson was spotted in Mont Carmel, Saut d’Eau, in the company of Barbecue and Jeff Larose, the gang leader of Canaan.
According to the U.S. embassy, a video shared on TikTok shows Wilson distributing money in the Thomazeau region, near Croix-des-Bouquets. This action is part of an obvious propaganda strategy used by criminal and terrorist organizations to maintain their grip on the population through fear and manipulation.
Far from being a benefactor, this individual is a fugitive, accused of kidnappings, murders, extortion, and terrorist acts. « Do not be deceived. If you have information about his whereabouts, please contact the FBI immediately at (+1 305 495 0956) by phone, SMS, or WhatsApp, or alert local authorities, » concludes the embassy's statement, which believes that « your information could save lives ».
