Commission
of inquiry formed concerning the theft of cannons and
precious stones from the Ile-à-vâches seabed
|
Port-au-Prince, 20 July 2006 (AHP) The deputy for the
ridding of
Ile-à-vâches, Jean David Génesté, was informed on
Thursday by the new
authorities that a commission charged with inquiring
into the
disappearance of several gold and emerald pieces and
bronze canons from
the sea-beds of this commune had been formed.
According to Mr. Génesté, one of the companies that
had signed the
exploitation contract, Sub Sea Research, still at Ile-à-Vache,
demanded from the Haitian state compensation in the
amount of 2-million American dollars.
It is in the absence of this company¹s representatives,
who had left for
the United States with their boats in August 2005 to
assist the victims of
Hurricane Katrina, that the pieces were reportedly
stolen.
Several other precious metal pieces were also returned
to the interim
regime, within the framework of this contract.
Greg Brooks, the General-Director of the company, stated
that research had
been undertaken for some 4-million American dollars,
according to the
deputy. Jean David David stated that it is up to the
courts to say
if the Haitian state effectively owes this amount to the
company.
Clear explanations concerning this case will soon be
furnished to the
press, announced M. Génesté.
The former interim Prime Minister, Gérard Latortue had
sworn that he knew
nothing about the sub-aquatic exploration contract in
the region of
Ile-à-vâche and that it was ministers in his
government that had
undertaken this responsibility.
However, photos show him savoring Champagne in the
company of the local
and international signatories of the said contract.
Furthermore, steps are being taken to ensure that Mr.
Latortue repatriates
two luxury vehicles that he had just bought in Florida
with funds from the
public treasury, while these vehicles should be returned
to the service of
the Prime Ministers office.
Mr. Latortue took 90,000 American dollars before his
departure to purchase
two Lexuses.
