WND | Eberwein was due to appear next Tuesday before the Haitian Senate
Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission where he was widely expected to
testify that the Clinton Foundation misappropriated Haiti earthquake
donations from international donors.
He had served as director general of the Haitian government’s
economic development agency, Fonds d’assistance économique et social,
for three years.
According to Eberwein, a paltry 0.6 percent of donations granted by
international donors to the Clinton Foundation with the express purpose
of directly assisting Haitians actually ended up in the hands of Haitian
organizations. A further 9.6 percent ended up with the Haitian
government. The remaining 89.8 percent – or $5.4 billion – was funneled
to non-Haitian organizations.
“The Clinton Foundation, they are criminals, they are thieves, they
are liars, they are a disgrace,” Eberwein said at a protest outside the
Clinton Foundation headquarters in Manhattan last year.
According to the Haiti Libre newspaper, Eberwein was said to be in
“good spirits,” with plans for the future. His close friends and
business partners are shocked by the idea he may have committed suicide.
“It’s really shocking,” said friend Gilbert Bailly. “We grew up together; he was like family.”
The Haitian government issued an official notice thanking Eberwein for his service and mourning his untimely death.
