The arrest of Pierre Reginald Boulos by U.S. authorities — including the U.S. Marshals and ICE — marks a significant turning point in the fight against impunity in Haiti.
According to journalist Valério Saint Louis, CEO of Télé Images and a contributor to Voice of America, Boulos, considered an untouchable oligarch, faces serious charges including financing criminal gangs, alleged involvement in the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, widespread corruption, money laundering, and criminal conspiracy.
These accusations stem from a thorough investigation in collaboration with the FBI, shedding light on his central role in a criminal network.
The denial of his release on bail underscores the danger he represents, while his requests for isolation raise concerns about the full extent of his activities.
This arrest, carried out by U.S. authorities, sends powerful messages: it could mark the end of impunity for the powerful in Haiti, highlights international involvement in the Haitian crisis, and serves as a crucial test for justice.
For the Haitian people — exhausted by violence and instability — this incarceration sparks hope and anticipation for a genuine fight against criminal networks.
