Haiti president assassination: Florida-based suspect planned to take presidency, police claim
Fox News
Haiti’s national police arrested a Florida-based doctor as a "central" suspect in the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse.
Police Chief Leon Charles suggested that Sanon may have plotted to kill Moïse and assume the presidency himself, The New York Times reported. "He arrived by private plane in June with political objectives and contacted a private security firm to recruit the people who committed this act," Charles said. "The initial mission that was given to these assailants was to protect the individual named Emmanuel Sanon, but afterwards the mission changed."More Related News
