A new twist has emerged in the corruption case involving the Social Welfare Fund (CAS). Investigating judge Jean Wilner Morin has pressed charges against six individuals in this CAS corruption scandal. The current Minister of Social Affairs and Labor, Pierre Odney Ricot, the former director of CAS, Edwin Tonton, Yvrose Alcide, Pierre Richard Valès, Frantz Iderice, and Johanne Phanord have been referred to the criminal court to be tried without a jury.

The case has been forwarded to the prosecutor's office. The government commissioner at the Court of First Instance, Edler Guillaume, has confirmed receiving the judge's order and will take appropriate action.
