A Haiti National Police officer who is accused of conspiring with one of the country’s leading cocaine traffickers and was brought to the U.S. on international narcotics charges is currently jailed in Wisconsin.
Alex Mompremier was flown out of Port-au-Prince on Monday by U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents and had an initial court appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy Joseph in Milwaukee the following day. Joseph ordered Mompremier temporarily detained and scheduled his detention hearing for Friday.
In September a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Wisconsin indicted Mompremier on charges of international drug trafficking and carrying firearms during and in relation to drug trafficking. Also indicted with him: Jean Eliobert Jasme, a high-profile drug trafficker who is also known as “ED1,” “Eddy One,” and “Tío Loco.”
