The Haitian people are still waiting for the results of the judicial investigation on the crime against Moïse, which deepened the political and social crisis of the Caribbean country
Port-au-Prince, January 17 (RHC)-- Six months after the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse and the arrest of more than 40 people linked to the event, allegations continue in that country that the judicial investigation to find those responsible for the assassination continues to be blocked.
In messages disseminated through Twitter, the president's wife, Martine Moïse, said that the investigation is advancing "thanks to the goodwill of the international community." She expressed that "the main suspects (...) have been arrested", among them the mercenaries (mostly Colombians) who assassinated Moïse on July 7, 2021. The president's widow called for efforts "to control all the assassins, especially those who financed this crime".
Last Thursday, the National Network for the Defense of Human Rights (RNDH) denounced the lack of progress in the investigation. The platform assured in a report that "there is no additional investigation. No judicial investigation."
The Jamaica Constabulary Force reported this Saturday the arrest of a figure considered key in the plot, the former Haitian senator Jhon Joel Joseph, in a residence located in the district of Saint Elizabeth.
It is presumed that the former legislator, a fugitive from Haitian justice, arrived in Jamaica last December. When the warrant for his arrest was issued, the Haitian police accused him of providing weapons and planning meetings to organize the plot that ended Moïse's life.
Last October, also in Jamaica, was captured the Colombian ex-military officer Mario Antonio Palacios, who was recently deported to the United States (USA), where he is accused of conspiring to kill the President of Haiti.
During interrogations, the rest of the detained mercenaries pointed to Palacios as one of those who knew that the real plan was to assassinate Jovenel Moïse. In addition, Haitian businessman Rodolph Jaar, a convicted drug trafficker and informant for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), was apprehended last week in the Dominican Republic
