Quebec Man Gets 5-Year Prison Sentence for Trying to Overthrow Haitian Government
Gérald Nicolas recruited collaborators, obtained firearms, and leased land near Haiti's border to incite revolution, according to the Public Prosecution Service of Canada.
- Superior Court Justice Louis Dionne sentenced Quebec man Gérald Nicolas to five years in prison at the Quebec City courthouse on Oct. 1, 2025.
- The Public Prosecution Service of Canada says Nicolas left Canada to facilitate a terrorist activity against President Jovenel Moïse's government and tried to incite an armed revolution.
- Investigators say he travelled to the Dominican Republic and Haiti to recruit collaborators and obtain firearms, while providing funds and leasing land near the Haitian border for a base of operations.
- A jury found Nicolas guilty on all three counts following a Royal Canadian Mounted Police investigation; the charges carried maximum 14-year and 10-year sentences, while he testified he sought a peaceful revolution.
- Prosecutors framed the matter as a conspiracy to undermine a foreign government, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police clarified the case was not related to Moïse's assassination in Port-au-Prince.
