A prominent Haitian gang leader was sentenced this week to 35 years in a U.S. prison after being found guilty of weapons smuggling and money laundering, The Miami Herald reported.
Germine Joly, better known as "Yonyon," was the leader of a 400-strong gang called Mawozo. Federal prosecutors who described his criminal activities had sought a life sentence, while him and his lawyers said he should get 17.5 years after he entered a guilty plea.
