  Reason given

  Gran Grif est le plus grand gang du département de l’Artibonite en Haïti. Depuis 2022, Gran Grif est responsable de 80 % des décès de civils signalés dans l’Artibonite. Gran Grif s’en est pris à la police nationale haïtienne et à la mission multinationale d’appui à la sécurité (MMAS), autorisée par les Nations unies, y compris lors de l’attaque de février 2025, qui a coûté la vie à un officier kényan de la MMAS. Le 11 janvier 2024, les membres de Gran Grif ont assassiné et démembré un homme après qu’il a résisté aux attaques perpétrées par Gran Grif. Le 3 octobre 2024, le gang Gran Grif, dirigé par Luckson Elan (HTi.007), a lancé des attaques contre Pont-Sondé, dans la commune de Saint-Marc (département de l’Artibonite), qui auraient fait près de cent morts et seize blessés. Au moins cinq cas de viol, dont un impliquant un mineur, ont été documentés. Ce massacre a également contraint plus de six mille personnes à quitter leurs foyers. Le 11 décembre 2024, Gran Grif a tué soixante-dix personnes à Petite-Rivière-de-l’Artibonite après qu’un groupe d’autodéfense a lynché, entre le 9 et le 10 décembre 2024, trente-neuf personnes accusées de complicité avec le gang. Entre décembre 2023 et juillet 2024, le gang Gran Grif a enlevé cent cinquante-sept personnes dans le cadre de neuf enlèvements distincts commis à Petite-Rivière-de-l’Artibonite. Le 30 novembre 2024, une femme de 22 ans a été tuée par deux balles dans le vagin pour avoir refusé d’avoir des relations sexuelles avec le chef du gang Gran Grif, Luckson Elan, à Petite-Rivière-de-l’Artibonite. Des viols ont également été commis par les membres du gang Gran Grif. En avril et mai 2024, deux avocats ont été tués par le gang Gran Grif. Ces attaques contre la profession d’avocat visent à créer un climat de peur et d’intimidation et constituent de graves menaces pour l’exercice d’une justice indépendante et de la représentation juridique.

  Reason given

  The Gran Griff gang, also known as the Savien gang, is the largest and most powerful gang in the Artibonite department. Over the past two years, the gang has been substantially expanding its territorial control, committing serious violations of human rights law, and trafficking weapons and ammunition. The violence is causing people to flee the area and is having an increasingly serious impact on food production, given that the Artibonite is one of the main agricultural departments in the country. Human rights abuses and other serious crimes committed by the gang include extrajudicial killings, rape – including gang rape of children cruel and degrading treatment, robbery, destruction of property, kidnapping, and hijacking of trucks. The gang’s activities have also severely disrupted health services and law enforcement in the area. In particular, the gang has targeted the National Police on several occasions resulting in the death of seven police officers following an attack on 25 January 2023, and the occupation of a local police station in Savien, Petite Riviere commune.

No ownership verdict was on file for this company on 26 October 2026.

Where the company is registered or connected

• HT: registered here

  No company register for this jurisdiction has been connected to this system, and none has been examined. No register here states who owns this jurisdiction's companies, so an ownership chain reaching one stops.

• Whether each listing was in force is rebuilt from what was recorded here: when it was first read, when a source stopped or resumed carrying it, and when its published term ended. A listing in force at an authority before this system first read it is shown from that first read.
• No ownership verdict is kept for this company. Verdicts are kept for companies registered where shareholders are read here: Estonia, Latvia and Poland.

For each source behind this file, the newest read made on or before the date: the version of it that stood.
