Haiti crisis deepens after prime minister sacks prosecutor

Removal came hours after Prime Minister Ariel Henry was named a suspect in the assassination of the country’s president.
Haiti’s political crisis has worsened after Prime Minister Ariel Henry on Tuesday sacked the chief public prosecutor who had accused him of links to the assassination of President Jovenel Moise on July 7.
Henry’s decision to fire prosecutor Bed-Ford Claude has exposed the infighting at the highest levels of what is left of Haiti’s government, more than two months after Moise was shot dead by assassins who stormed his private residence in the hills above Port-au-Prince.
Claude was sacked hours after he asked the judge investigating Moise’s murder to charge the prime minister with involvement in the case.
