Germine Joly
Germine Joly, also known as 'Yonyon', is a notorious Haitian gang leader who was recently convicted for orchestrating the kidnapping of 16 American missionaries in 2021. He was the co-leader of the 400 Mawozo gang, infamous for its violent activities and extortion tactics in Haiti. Joly was previously arrested and sentenced to life in prison in 2018 for his criminal activities but continued to lead gang operations from behind bars. His gang demanded exorbitant ransoms for hostages, and despite his denial of involvement, he has been linked to various crimes, including weapons smuggling and money laundering. His conviction is a significant moment in the fight against gang violence in Haiti.
