US EditionJury selection to begin in South Florida for 5 charged in 2021 assassination of Haitian president
Four men face life sentences for conspiring in South Florida to kidnap or kill Haiti's president in a plot involving foreign mercenaries and $175,000 financing, prosecutors said.
- Jury selection began Monday in a U.S. federal court in Miami for four men charged in the 2021 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse, prosecutors say.
- Planning documents show conspirators intended to install a leader and award CTU contracts during April 2021 meetings, prosecutors say.
- Worldwide Capital extended a $175,000 line of credit to CTU, which hired about 20 Colombian nationals before the July 7, 2021 attack by about two dozen mercenaries.
- The four defendants face possible life sentences, and Dr. Christian Emmanuel Sanon’s case was severed for medical reasons and will be scheduled separately.
- Besides 11 people arrested and prosecuted in the U.S., another 20, including 17 Colombian soldiers and three Haitian officials, face charges in Haiti, while five others serve life sentences and the case was delayed last year.
