Rodolphe Joazile, President of the Senate at the request of the Parliamentary Investigation Commission on the electoral fraud, which is in charge to examine among others; the allegations of corruption within the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP), has filed a complaint with the Prosecutor Port-au-Prince, to request the prohibition to leave the territory of the members of the CEP.

This follows a letter sent to the Senate by Sen. Youri Latortue (which leads this Commission], on May 17, a letter explaining that "because of testimony already gathered and in order to avoid flight abroad of members of the CEP, it would be useful that protective measures be taken against all members of the electoral body."

Me Harycidas Auguste, the head of the prosecution, decided to respond positively to this request and has asked to the Director-General of the Department of Immigration and Emigration, to make arrangements with the service at land borders, air and sea , so that the members of the CEP can not leave the territory.

This prohibition on leaving the territory concerns :

Gaillot Dorsinvil, President of CEP, ;

Jean Thélève Pierre Toussaint, Vice-President of the council

Pierre Louis Opont, Director General

Laurette Croyance, member of the council

Jacques Belzin, member of the council

Ginette Chérubin, member of the council

Ribel Pierre, member of the council

Leonel Raphael, member of the council

Anthénor Guerrier, member of the council

Recall that this parliamentary commission of investigation, was created after that the President Michel Martelly, demanded, that full light be shed on the allegations of corruption made by the parliamentarians and candidates against the CEP, following the surprising reversal of 15 candidates, at the time of the final results of second round for the benefit of the ruling party INITE.
