PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - The Haitian government's anti-corruption agency charged five high-profile individuals with corruption on Wednesday, including three members of an interim governing council, over a scandal involving bribing the chairman of a state-owned bank.
The three are voting members of a nine-member council appointed in April to act as the country's executive branch until new elections can be held in the crisis-racked Caribbean island nation.
