HAITIAN anti-corruption investigators wore caps and face masks on Tuesday as they stood behind boxes of evidence purporting to show that high-ranking government officials are guilty of crimes ranging from illicit enrichment to abuse of office.

The newest cases range from food meant for state school students allegedly being diverted for other purposes to government fuel apparently being used for personal benefit.
