Two years after the discovery and seizure of a large shipment of arms and ammunition at St. Marc Customs https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-18569-haiti-flash-worrying-seizure-of-weapons-from-the-usa.html , it is the American authorities who are advancing the investigation by arresting suppliers in the United States, while in Haiti the investigation seems to have been lost in any drawer...

Junior Joseph, the owner of a gun store in Orlando and his brother Jimy Joseph, were arrested and charged with illegally shipping of weapons to Haiti from the port of Palm Beach via the Saint-Marc Customs.

Recall that during the seizure at the customs of Saint-Marc, the report of minutes reported among other things: 150 rifles caliber 12.9 rifles caliber 12 double barrel, 5 rifles M4, 15 pairs of handcuffs, 10 pairs of boots, 50 cases of 50 units of cartridges caliber 38, 4 cases of 1,000 units of cartridges 9 mm, 10 cases of 250 units of cartridges caliber 12.7 cases, 50 boxes of 50 cartridges 380, 2 boxes 250 cartridges 12.7, 1 chargers 5.56mm caliber, 1 M14 charger, 12 uniforms (blue trousers, black shirt), 5 tactical vests, 1 9mm BCB2761 Glock pistol and a charger...

To be followed...
