Canadian Government sanctions edit
On December 5, 2022, the Canadian government imposed sanctions on three Haitian businessmen, including Abdallah, Reynold Deeb, and Gilbert Bigio. The Canadian government alleged that Abdallah and others had financially supported gangs in Haiti that have contributed to the Haitian humanitarian crisis. The Canadian government placed a freeze on Abdallah's assets in Canada.[1] In response, Abdallah resigned from Sogebank, one of the largest commercial banks in Haiti.[3]
