The Ministry of Youth, Sports and Civic Action (MJSAC) was raided by the Anti-Corruption Unit (ULCC) as part of an ongoing investigation https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-45355-haiti-justice-search-at-the-ministry-of-youth-sports.html

As announced in its press release of July 4th, 2025, the MJSAC will always be willing to meet its accountability obligations under the conditions provided for by law https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-45268-haiti-politic-minister-of-youth-reacts-strongly-to-corruption-allegations.html Moreover, since May 30, 2025, when the Ministry was formally informed of the opening of an investigation by the ULCC, all staff cooperated.

However, the Ministry deplores the manner in which this search was conducted. Certain regrettable behaviors deserve to be highlighted : employees were intimidated and their phones confiscated for several hours. The Ministry of Justice and Security deplores these actions, which violate the principles of republican order.

Similarly, the Ministry of Justice and Security is surprised that certain elements of the investigation, which should be protected by confidentiality, were reported in the press, which could vitiate the ongoing proceedings.

While reiterating its commitment to the principles of transparency, probity, and accountability, in accordance with the requirements of the rule of law, the Ministry relies on the impartiality and discernment of all parties involved to clarify what needs to be clarified and to objectively and regularly determine responsibilities.
