What to Know as Trials over the Assassination of Haiti’s President Resume in Miami
Prosecutors say the plot used Colombian mercenaries and diverted COVID-19 relief money, and at least 30 people have been charged.
- On Monday, a former Haitian government official and 17 others appeared in federal court in Miami on charges related to the 2021 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse.
- U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones said Moïse was "assassinated by individuals seeking to profit from illicit financial opportunities and business contracts" during the July 7, 2021, attack near Port-au-Prince.
- Joseph Badio, a former Haiti Ministry of Justice employee, was brought into court and charged with conspiracy for allegedly posing as a U.S. drug agent during the killing.
- Prosecutions moved to the United States because proceedings in Haiti "continue to face significant difficulties," the Ministry of Justice and Public Security said, citing gang violence and judge resignations.
- Prosecutors have charged more than 40 people with crimes related to the assassination, with Christian Emmanuel Sanon, a Florida pastor who authorities said aspired to be president, scheduled for trial next week.
