Notorious Haitian cocaine kingpin Jacques Ketant who accused former Haiti president Jean Bertrand Aristide of accepting drug-related bribes will be released from a USA prison after his 27-year sentence was reduced in half due to his cooperation that led to many other arrests of big drug dealers in Haiti...

According the Miami Herald, Jacques Ketant wants to stay in the United States to live after his released; he fears for his life should he be sent back to Haiti.

With the assistance of Jacques Ketant, over one dozen drug traffickers, government officials and police officers in a long-running case that exposed Haiti as a "narco-state," the Herald said.

The one major exception: Aristide, though investigated for years, was never charged in connection with Ketant's sprawling case.

Ketant will soon leave prison and be transferred to immigration authorities. Jacques Ketant is trying hard to prevent his deportation to Haiti be cause he does want to end up dead like one of Aristides's former bodyguards who was killed recently
