I federali svelano le accuse contro "Barbecue", il capo di una gang haitiana con una taglia di 5 ...

US authorities have charged Jimmy "Barbecue" Chérizier, the leader of a Haitian gang, and Bazile Richardson, a naturalized U.S. citizen, for conspiring to funnel U.S. funds to Chérizier’s gang. Chérizier, a fugitive believed to be in Haiti, was sanctioned in 2020 under the Magnitsky Act for human‑rights violations, including the 2018 La Saline massacre. Richardson was arrested in Texas for sending money to Chérizier despite knowing the sanctions. The Department of Justice said the funds were used to pay gang members and purchase firearms. The State Department is offering up to $5 million for information that leads to Chérizier’s arrest. This is the first Magnitsky Act sanction for human‑rights violations.
