Emmanuel Constant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emmanuel Constant (nicknamed "Toto", born on October 27, 1956) is the founder of FRAPH, a Haitian death squad organized in mid-1993 to terrorize supporters of exiled president Jean-Bertrand Aristide. After the 1994 U.S. and UN-led multinational occupation restored Aristide to power, Constant managed to escape to the U.S. He was later detained by INS officials in 1995 and prepared to be deported to Haïti to stand trial for involvement in the Raboteau Massacre. However, in a December 1995 interview with Ed Bradley on 60 Minutes, Constant threatened to divulge secrets about his relationship with the CIA during the early '90s. After this threat, as well as receiving intelligence that there was a plot to assassinate Constant should he return to Haïti, the Clinton administration ordered the INS to release Constant in May 1996.
On July 25, 2008, after hearing two weeks of testimony, a Brooklyn jury convicted Constant of several mortgage fraud felonies, including Scheme to Defraud and Grand Larceny. The convictions came within hours of a vigorous confrontation between Constant, who testified in his own defense, and Assistant Attorney General Thomas Schellhammer, who cross-examined him
