FOUR SUSPECTS IN KILLING OF HAITIAN PRESIDENT SENT TO US

The US Justice Department has already charged three others over the
assassination that took place in July 2021.

Four key suspects in the July 7, 2021 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel
Moise were transferred from Haiti to the United States on Tuesday to face
criminal charges, the US Justice Department has announced.

A total of seven suspects in the case are now in US custody. Dozens of others
still languish in Haiti’s main penitentiary, which is severely overcrowded and
often lacks food and water for inmates.

The department on Tuesday said Haitian-American dual citizens James Solages, 37
and Joseph Vincent, 57, and Colombian citizen German Alejandro Rivera Garcia,
44, have been charged with conspiring to commit murder or kidnapping outside the
United States.

A fourth man, Haitian American Christian Sanon, 54, is charged with smuggling
ballistic vests from the United States to Haiti for use in the assassination
plot.



The four will appear in federal court in Miami on Wednesday.

The US Justice Department has already charged three others in the assassination,
with Sanon, who the department called an “aspiring political candidate,” a key
leader of the operation.

It said Sanon recruited about 20 Colombians with military training, led by
Rivera Garcia, to help carry out the assassination.

The Colombian squad shot Moise dead on the night of July 6 to 7, 2021 in his
private residence in the capital, Port-au-Prince.



“On July 6, 2021, Solages, Vincent, Rivera and others met at a house near
President Moise’s residence, where firearms and equipment were distributed and
Solages announced that the mission was to kill President Moise,” the department
alleged.

US law is being applied in this case because the plan to kill the Haitian
president was allegedly partly organised on US soil in Florida, by
American-Haitian nationals.

The three charged with the assassination face up to life in prison. Sanon faces
up to 20 years for his role in supplying the operation.

Meanwhile, the case has reached a virtual standstill in Haiti, with local
officials last year nominating a fifth judge to investigate the killing after
four others were dismissed or resigned for personal reasons.

One judge told the AP news agency his family asked him not to take the case
because they feared for his life. Another judge stepped down after one of his
assistants died in murky circumstances.
