April 14, 2015: Radio hosts Louco Desir and Alex Callas speculate on arrest and seizure of cocaine.
The arrest comes days after US Marshals arrested the Haitian adjoint Director of PIHDH, Limongy Jean, a former deputy of the 48th Legislature. PIHDH is a program tasked with providing identification documents to Haitians living in irregular circumstances in foreign countries.
Jean is said to have been found in possession of an official Haitian diplomatic passport and his capture as well as this massive drug bust, is fueling much speculation in Haiti.
Radio hosts believe a shipment of that size can not be transported without a great level of coordination from people of influence.
