“We continue to make progress,” Charles said of the police’s efforts to resolve the shameless killing in Moïse’s private home earlier Wednesday. The attack severely injured his wife Martine Moïse, who was airlifted to Miami and is still hospitalized. treatment.

It is not clear whether Sanon has a lawyer.

Charles said a total of 26 Colombians were suspected of killing the president before dawn on Wednesday. Eighteen of them have been arrested, plus three Haitians. He said that five of the suspects were still at large and at least three were killed.

“They are dangerous people,” he said. “I’m talking about commandos, professional commandos.”

Charles said Sanon was in contact with a company that provides security for politicians and recruited the suspects, adding that the suspects flew to Haiti with them in early June. The initial mission of these people was to protect Sanon, but they later received a new mission: arrest the president, the chief said.

“The operation started there,” he said, adding that 22 other suspects had joined the organization and had contact with Haitian citizens.

The suspect claimed to be a doctor

Charles said that after Moise was killed, one of the suspects called Sanon, who then contacted two intellectual authors believed to be the author of the plot. He did not specify the mastermind or whether the police knew who they were.

The person in charge said that the Haitian authorities obtained information from other parts of the interrogation and investigation.

Sanon has lived in Florida, Broward County, and Hillsborough County on the Gulf Coast. Records show that he still lives in Kansas City, Missouri. He filed for bankruptcy in 2013 and claimed to be a doctor in a YouTube video titled “Leadership in Haiti”.

He claimed that Haiti possesses uranium, oil and other resources taken away by government officials. “With me in power, you have to tell me:’What do you use my uranium for? What do you use our oil in that country? What do you plan to use gold for?”‘

He also added: “This is a resource-rich country. When we have so many resources, nine million people cannot fall into poverty. It is impossible… The world must stop what they are doing now Things. We can’t stand it anymore. We need new leaders who can change our way of life.”

Political power struggle

A few hours ago, hundreds of Haitians prayed for solace in church services early on Sunday because the struggle for political power threatened to further destabilize their fragile country.

The leaders of the Roman Catholic and Protestant churches demanded to remain calm and told people to stay strong when anxiety about the future increased. The authorities did not provide answers or theories about who planned to kill Moise.

“In the face of this situation, we will not be discouraged…you must stay and fight for peace,” Father Edwin St. Louis said in a televised sermon, which included a small photo of Moise. The banner read: “Haiti will remember you.”

As the investigation continues, prosecutors have asked prominent politicians, including presidential candidate Reginald Bloss and former Haitian Senate Speaker Yuri Latotu, to meet with officials for questioning. The authorities also stated that they plan to interview at least two Moïse for security details.

Interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph is currently leading Haiti with the help of the police and the army, but his power is facing increasing challenges.

Ariel Henry, who Moise designated as prime minister the day before he was killed, said that he believed he was a legitimate prime minister, and this statement was also supported by a group of lawmakers who were members of Moise’s Tet Kale party. The organization also supports Haiti’s disbanded Senate Speaker Joseph Lambert as the country’s interim president.

The U.S. sent a team to assist in the investigation

Haiti is a country with a population of more than 11 million. After failing to hold parliamentary elections, there are currently only 10 elected officials, which led to Moiz’s decree rule for more than a year until his death.

Although the streets were calm on Sunday, government officials worried about what would happen in the future and demanded military assistance from the United States and the United Nations.

Haitian election minister Matthias Pierre told the Associated Press: “We still believe that there will be chaos on a road.”

John Kirby, the chief spokesperson of the Pentagon, said Fox News Sunday The Pentagon is analyzing the request to send troops to Haiti and has not yet made any decision. He said that a team composed mainly of agents from the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI “now” is heading to Haiti to help investigate the assassination.

“I think this is really our best energy now to help them investigate this incident and figure out who is guilty, who is responsible and how to best hold them responsible for the future,” Kirby said.
