Eighteen suspects arrested in connection with the July 2021 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse are set to be extradited to the United States for trial in a Florida federal court, according to multiple news sources. The president was shot dead at his private residence by a group of about 20 military-trained Colombian mercenaries, as reported by The Guardian. His security detail did not intervene to protect him. The suspects, who were arrested in Haiti, are accused of orchestrating a transnational plot to kill Moïse from U.S. soil, according to Al Jazeera English. The extradition follows a series of arrests in Haiti linked to the assassination, with U.S. officials confirming the involvement of 18 individuals. The trial in Florida is expected to address the circumstances surrounding the killing, which sparked significant unrest in Haiti. No further details about the suspects or the trial have been provided by the sources.
