Saturday July 2nd, 2022, the former Minister of Sports Evans Lescouflair, accused of rape of a minor was arrested by Interpol in Panama where he had taken refuge to escape Haitian justice (the maximum sentence in Haiti for rape of a minor is lifetime sentence). In addition, civil lawsuits have also been filed by the lawyers of several other alleged victims, who claim to have been sexually abused by Lescouflair.

Let's recall that Lescouflair was the subject of a criminal complaint (15 years after the facts) by Claude-Alix Bertrand, Ambassador of Haiti to Unesco and captain of the national polo team of Haiti, for indecent assault, repeated sexual assaults and rapes when he was only 11 years old and Lescouflair was his teacher https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-36275-haiti-flash-former-youth-minister-evans-lescouflair-accused-of-pedophilia.html

Following this complaint, Me Jacques Lafontant Government Commissioner had invited to the Public Prosecutor's Office, on May 12, Evans Lescouflair to explain himself. The latter did not appear and requested a postponement of the hearing via his lawyers. However, having no further news, Me Lafontant had launched a wanted notice and issued an international arrest warrant (Interpol).
