Story summary

On September 20, 18 suspects accused of involvement in the July 2021 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse were flown out of Haiti and into the United States on a military plane. This move follows a nine-week trial in Miami where four South Florida men were convicted for plotting to hire mercenaries to kill Moïse at his Port-au-Prince home. The suspects will face trial in Florida, according to U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones, who noted that 30 people have been indicted so far for their roles in the assassination. The killing, which shocked Haiti and left a political vacuum, involved hiring over two dozen former Colombian soldiers with money, weapons, and tactical vests.
