Port-au-Prince, August 27 (RHC)-- The Minister of Justice and Public Security of Haiti, Rockefeller Vincent, reported Thursday that they are looking for three individuals involved in the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, which occurred last July 7th, and offered a reward for those who provide information leading to their capture.

"For anyone who helps the Police to find these three important fugitives, the Ministry of Justice and Public Security (MJSP) will give $ 6 million," the official specified through his Twitter account.  

The individuals were identified as former Cassation Court judge W
endelle Coq Thélot, former official Joseph Félix Badio, and former senator John Joel Joseph.

Rockfeller warned about possible actions of intimidation and "vain attempts to disrupt the tracks," emphasizing that people may take desperate initiatives, but "justice will triumph in the end."

Last August 21, new information and testimonies on the assassination of Moïse were revealed, which involve the personal driver of the president with the Colombian mercenaries who carried out the operation in Port-au-Prince (capital).

The three fugitives from justice had been summoned, through a decree issued by Moise last February 9, to comply with the retirement order.  Regarding the retirement order, the measure brought discrepancies in the country, since the spokesmen indicated that the courts of appeal and of first instance "are irremovable and can only be dismissed for a breach with legal basis or suspended after being charged."

Article 177 of the country's constitution specifies that "they may not be subject to change without their consent, even in case of promotion.  Their service may only be terminated during their term of office in the event of duly accredited permanent physical or mental incapacity."
