A Bahamian court, before reaching the conclusion of the case, formally accused Adras Andris, son of former Senator Riche Andris, of being the principal intellectual author of a shady affair that tarnished the dignity of other diplomats accredited in Nassau. However, Port-au-Prince recalled several of them.
Adras Andris was found to have ran a marriage for visas and residency scheme charging $2,300. Wanted by the police, he managed to collect some of his belongings and escape Bahamian authorities before arrest. According to the court order he is banned from the island.

Wow. Fritz Jean Louis - an aid to the president of #Haiti was shot three times last week by a death squad leader during a meeting to negotiate the supply of automatic rifles and funding to terrorize and kill activists. What great leaders we have in Haiti.
The Jovenel Moïse administration was attempting to negotiate financing and arms with the terrorist leader that goes by the name of Chef Bougòy. Bougòy's men were to temper down popular protests in the neighborhoods of south Port-au-Prince, around Grand Ravine. Their efforts to terrorize activists calling for the resignation of President Moïse, would allow city workers in to the area to remove barricades that had been erected by the peyi lok movement.
The Haiti Sentinel does recall receiving information of the shooting of Fritz Jean Louis on the evening of the incident. In error, we discounted it as fake news on these reasons:
The National Palace Chief of Staff, Mr. Jean Louis, had been missing since February 2019 after he was found in the company of 7 foreign mercenaries, including former U.S. Navy Seals now working as private contracters. Those 7 men and Jean Louis were arrested, then controversially released by the current resigning-Minister of Justice, Jean Roudy Aly. The 7 mercenaries returned to the United States and Jean Louis fled, "to the wilderness", according to explanations at the time for why he couldn't be questioned by Parliamentarians and the press.
A well-informed source at the National Palace provided Gazette Haiti, a news agency with a reputation of being well tapped in, the details of the events of November 13. Initial reports were that Jean Louis was riding through a rough part of town when he was hit by three bullets. In a bulletproof government vehicle with a security entourage that he is known for, this official being shot and not his driver or security left more information to be desired.
The National Palace source said that the shooting did not take place in a vehicle but at the CTMO Professional Center on Bicentennaire. The CTMO is an office that receives funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through the Haitian Hemisphere Opportunity through Partnership Encouragement (HOPE) II Legislation.
The National Palace Chief of Staff arranged for a meeting with a gang member known as Ti Lapli a representative of Chief Bougoy. Ti Lapli is said to have been at the outset of the meeting hostile, not even willing to shake Jean Louis' hand.
A few weeks prior, Jean Louis had come to terms for financing and arming another terrorist gang leader known as Kriss La. This gang of the Savane Pistache area, north east of Chief Bougoy's territory, received large sums of money and weapons to halt the popular movements in nearby Martissant and surrounding areas. They had successfully allowed for the lifting of many barricades after the shooting death of two activists in two seperate incidents.
But Kriss La's gang has been in a war with Ti Lapli's men and had dealt them many blows in recent weeks.
At the CTMO-HOPE office, Ti Lapli contacted Chief Bougoy by phone who told him to send a clear signal to the National Palace that there could only be one terrorist leader and arming rival groups is disagreeable.
Ti Lapli shot Jean Louis in the shoulder, who fell to the floor, and shot him twice more, in the hip and lower back. A relative of the victim had confirmed to the Gazette that indeed Fritz Jean Louis' wounds are in those locations.
The shooting took place in front of the driver of the National Palace Chief of Staff. The driver was searched and recovered for his weapons and money, along with the weapons and money that were allocated to be distributed to the gangs upon succesful negotiations.
The National Palace envoy rather rushed Jean Louis to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic where he has been receiving treatment for his wounds and according to various sources, his life is out of danger.
"Crisis in Haiti: 'The maintenance of Jovenel Moïse in power only has the support of Washington'" is an article that was published by France 24 on Thursday, November 21.
The article comes a day after the third U.S. American ambassador, Kelly Craft, would come into Haiti in hopes of brokering a deal to get members of the opposition to defect. The U.S. Ambassador to Haiti, Michele Sison had failed in the effort. The U.N. Envoy to Haiti, a former U.S. Ambassador, Helen La Lime, had failed. Wednesday came the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, but as a special favor for the U.S. President Donald Trump. So far she seems to have failed.
The European Union bailed on Jovenel Moïse back in August, and this was in sensational fashion. After replacing its ambassador and having her introduced at the National Palace, a purported overview of the ambassador's impression of the Haitian president, that was sent by diplomatic cable to Belgium reportedly, declared Jovenel Moïse appearing as someone suffering from some form of phsychosis and psychological damage.
Every sector of Haitian political, professional, religious and civil society, has called for the resignation of Mr. Moïse. He has been formally charged by Haiti's Supreme Court of Auditors and Administrative Disputes (CSCCA) for taking part in a massive money laundering, fraud and embezzlement operation of a $4.6 billion development fund.
Human rights organizations have filed reports charging he and members of his administration responsible for massacres of Haitian citizens in several of the country's most underpriviledged neighborhoods. On November 13, the National Palace Chief of Staff, Fritz Jean Louis, was shot 5 times while trying to negotiate financing and arms for a street gang. He is recovering in a Dominican hospital.
Furthermore, Amnesty International has reported finding evidence of systematic repression of peaceful protests through aggressive and violent means by the police. The Haitian National Police (PNH) are wholly funded and trained by the U.S..
Ambassador Craft failed to get key members of the Haitian opposition into a meeting. Of those who met with her, no movement towards talks with Jovenel Moïse could be found. Difficult still, Haitians protested against Ambassador Craft's presence throughout Haiti. And reports that PNH officers brutalized and even broke the teeth of a group who were setting up a sit-in protest adjacent the Toussaint Louverture International Airport was not attractive.
"The continuation of the political crisis would be devastating for the country with more severe medium-term consequences due to the loss of physical and human capital," the IMF warned in a statement on Monday, November 25. mission in # Haiti.
Pt. Jovenel Moïse seeks to restore order in the country, according to a statement from the Ministry of Communication. He attended a special CSPN on Tuesday and "asked CSPN officials to take the necessary steps to improve the safe climate" in #Haiti.
