Wyclef Jean’s Haiti charity is set to close following allegations of financial mismanagement. The charity is being investigated by the New York attorney general’s office and reportedly went out of business last month. Jean’s spokesperson Melanie A. Bonvicino adds,
“At present my client Wyclef Jean and his legal team are working ‘assiduously’ to resolve any pending issues with respect to Yele prior to its closing, as Mr. Jean continues his tireless commitment to his ‘beloved’ country by remaining steadfast in his efforts to encourage the global community to join in supporting ongoing relief efforts in Haiti.”
