Notorious former Haitian paramilitary leader Emmanuel "Toto" Constant, who had been living in Laurelton for about a decade, pleaded guilty last Thursday to a charge of grand larceny in connection with a real estate scheme in Brooklyn, state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said.

Constant was charged with fraudulently arranging more than $1.7 million in loans for the purchase of four Brooklyn properties, Cuomo said.

In a previous case, Constant was charged with receiving $45,000 to secure a "straw buyer" to fake the purchase of a home in Suffolk County. Cuomo said Constant pleaded guilty in that case as well ...

Constant is the former leader of FRAPH, or Front for the Advancement of and Progress of Haiti, a notorious death squad that brutalized Haitians following the overthrow of President Jean Betrand Aristide in 1991.

and just may end up in jail. Figures it would be over trying to cheat someone over money, and NOT over the thousands and thousands of lives he took, brutally, acting as one of the instruments of American Repbublican will (_{Bush the Elder, Bush the Lesser,} and the _{International Republican Institute}) against the citizens of Haiti.

Quite sure he won't be tempted to gibber out the names of his lords and masters he served as he slaughtered so many of his countrymen/women, but that would be so righteous a thing to do before he dies. The whole world needs to hear what so many already know about the American fascist right-wing and its intentions toward everyone without enough political clout. They are common criminals who have been privileged enough to be able to get people like Constant to kill, terrorize and intimidate people SO THEY WON'T HAVE TO.

Throw the book at Constant, Judge! Then get the hell out of town! Hide! Forever!
