30 indicted for role in assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise: US officials

Thirty individuals were indicted for their role in the 2021 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise, according to the U.S. attorney for the southern district of Florida.

U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quinones said that it was the next step in the United States’ pursuit of justice.

Moise was killed in an attack at his home early on July 7, 2021, after a group raided his private residence in Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince. His wife, Martine, survived the attack.

The alleged Colombian mercenaries posed as agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and allegedly killed Moise for personal gain, an 85-page indictment says.

Some of the men were brought to the U.S. on a military plane by an elite team of agents from the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
