The United States has sanctioned former Haitian President Michel Martelly for alleged drug trafficking, accusing him of fueling the ongoing violence and instability in the Caribbean nation
The US Treasury Department alleges that Martelly abused his influence to facilitate drug trafficking into the US. It also accuses him of laundering illicit drug proceeds, working with Haitian drug traffickers and sponsoring multiple Haiti-based gangs.
The sanctions announced Tuesday prohibit US institutions and individuals from financial dealings with Martelly.
Martelly, who served as Haitian president from 2011 to 2016, was previously sanctioned by Canada on November 17, 2022, on suspicion of protecting or supporting the activities of criminal gangs.
