Police in Haiti have apprehended a former legislator who has long been suspected of arming gangs in the central region of the country. The ex-member of Parliament, representing the Petite Riviere community in the Artibonite region, was taken into custody in Port-au-Prince on Sunday, as confirmed by Haiti’s National Police.
The arrested individual, Prophane Victor, has faced accusations of colluding with gang members in Artibonite, particularly in the Savien community. A former gang leader has reportedly implicated Victor multiple times in supporting criminal activities in the region.
