Haitian gangs generate up to $80 million per year through toll stations, according to former PM Bellerive

In an alarming revelation, former Haitian Prime Minister Jean Max Bellerive said that armed gangs extort between $60 million and $80 million a year thanks to illegal toll stations installed on national roads. In an interview broadcast on social networks on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, the former head of government stressed that this financial manna gives gangs a dangerous autonomy, strengthening their ability to sow terror.
