Disappearance of Jacques Benoit Bleck: a suspect arrested, a weapon found during a search

As part of the investigation into the disappearance of citizen Jacques Benoit Bleck in Jacmel, an arrest warrant issued by the investigating magistrate, Me Belège Charles Fontus, was executed on the afternoon of Sunday, October 18, against Sidney Syprien, 38 years old. He is wanted for conspiracy. A search was also conducted at his home on Rue Mayar by agents from the SDPJ, in the presence of a justice of the peace. During this operation, a 9 mm caliber pistol was discovered. The specifications of the weapon, which are difficult to read, would suggest that it belonged to the missing person. When questioned by SDPJ investigators about the origin of the weapon, Sidney Syprien reportedly stated that Jacques Junior Benoit Bleck, known as "Tidoudou Bleck," had entrusted it to him as collateral for a loan of 50,000 gourdes. The case is to be submitted to the investigating judge for the judicial proceedings provided by law.<\/p>
