Jimmy Cherizier Known as "Barbecue" Subject to Sanctions From the EU

The European Union (EU) legislation on November 28 that permits punitive actions against Haitian gang leaders and their backers. As of right now, just one individual has been identified: Jimmy Cherizier, alias "Barbecue," one of Haiti's most powerful gang bosses and the head of the "G9 family and allies," a confederation of Haitian gangs.

The EU hasn't previously sanctioned Haiti; they are doing so now. The Council Regulation and Decision establish a framework for the introduction of travel restrictions, targeted arms embargos, the freezing of funds and economic resources of, and the prohibition against making funds and economic resources available to, individuals, entities, or bodies supporting violent gangs...

Targeted individuals:
Jimmy Cherizier, also known as "Barbecue," has planned, directed, or participated in actions that constitute grave violations of human rights and pose a threat to the peace, security, and stability of Haiti.

Cherizier organized and took part in the violent attack on innocent bystanders in the La Saline neighborhood of Port-au-Prince in November 2018 while working as an officer in the Haitian National Police (PNH). Over 400 homes were demolished, over 71 individuals were killed, and armed gangs raped at least seven women during this incident.

Cherizier oversaw organized, vicious attacks in Port-au-Prince neighborhoods throughout 2018 and 2019.

In a five-day assault in several Port-au-Prince neighborhoods in May 2020, Cherizier was the leader of armed gangs that resulted in the deaths of residents and the torching of homes.

Cherizier and the G9 stopped the free flow of fuel from the Varreux oil port, the biggest in Haiti, on October 19, 2022.

His activities are directly responsible for Haiti's crippling economic situation and humanitarian crises.
