In a press conference at police headquarters, the Chief of Police, Léon Charles authorized the Inspector general of police Frantz Jean François, to open an investigation into the police aggressive attitude towards the journalist. The judge at the Cour de Cassation, Yvickel Dabrésil, was arrested in his residence by security agents from the National Palace for “conspiracy against the state” but his lawyers appealed to the court Grécias Norcéus, who granted the request stating that the judge was arbitrarily arrested, but the release letter was held by the head of the public prosecutor’s office for over 24 hours before giving the letter to the defense legal team for him to be released.
