Guy Philippe repatriated to Haiti

U.S. deports former coup leader, convicted drug trafficker Guy Philippe back to Haiti. Philippe’s attorney, Jean Joseph Louicher, confirmed to the Associated Press that Philippe arrived in Port-au-Prince on Thursday morning. “We’ve been fighting for four years to reduce the sentence of Guy Philippe to bring him home,” he said, referring to a money laundering charge he pleaded guilty to in the U.S.

Guy Philippe, who was dressed in a gray jumpsuit, was seen walking into Haiti’s National Police station after getting off a bus.

He could not be immediately reached for comment.
