'Toto' Constant, ex-Haitian Strongman, Found Guilty of Fraud

NEW YORK - A once-feared Haitian paramilitary leader has been convicted in a New York mortgage fraud scheme to cheat lenders out of $1.7 million.A Brooklyn jury found Emmanuel "Toto" Constant guilty on Friday of fraud and grand larceny. He faces up to 15 years in prison when he is sentenced on Sept. 10.

Human rights groups say that in the early 1990s, Constant led a gang of thugs that terrorized and slaughtered slum-dwellers loyal to ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. When Aristide returned to power in 1994, Constant slipped into the United States.
