The Listin Diario sent Asela Maria Lamarche to Haiti to report on people in that country on occasion of the inaugural of Jean Bertrand Aristide. One of those she chose to interview was Haitian Frederick Mazourka, who lives among the wealthy of Haiti. Mazourka was questioned for his association to a group of Dominicans for corruption in the National Lottery during a Balaguer administration. Mazourka told the Listin that he left the country not because he wanted to evade justice, but because he was sent to escape so he wouldn’t talk. He said he would be willing to return to the DR if President Hipolito Mejia would ensure him a fair trial. The Haitian is a telecommunication businessman who also owns a doors and windows factory in Haiti. He told the Listin Diario that now the Mafia within the National Lottery is worse.
