Haitian president's murder trial in Florida
Eighteen suspects involved in the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse have been extradited to Florida for trial, including a former official from the anti-corruption unit who carried out the killing, as well as Colombian mercenaries. Moïse was murdered in July 2021 by a group of technically trained mercenaries, leading to a significant political vacuum and increasing violence in the country. In May 2023, four individuals linked to a Florida-based security company were convicted of conspiracy to assassinate him and face life imprisonment. Haiti remains troubled, preparing to hold presidential and legislative elections for the first time since 2016 amid deteriorating security conditions.
