Protesters who were accompanying Fantom 509 members, a gang of masked police officers, looted Universal Motors car dealership in Port-au-Prince and set a fire inside it Wednesday.
Reginald Boulos, the dealership’s owner, said without providing evidence that President Jovenel Moïse is to blame.
“It’s a conspiracy and Jovenel Moïse is the author,” Boulos said.
Boulos, who’s also the leader of a political party, MTVAyiti, has blamed the government before for other wrongdoings. Moïse has yet to comment on the statement. Source
