Eighteen suspects involved in the 2021 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise have been transported to Florida to face trial, according to United States officials. The suspects are part of a group originally identified as approximately 20 military-trained Colombian mercenaries who carried out the attack at Moise's private residence on July 7, 2021. Moise, who was 53 at the time of his death, was killed during the incident.
The transfer of these individuals to the United States marks a significant development in the ongoing investigation into the high-profile assassination. While the provided reports note that the president's security detail did not intervene during the attack, the legal proceedings in Florida aim to address the roles of the detained suspects in the killing.
