They arrest an alleged mastermind of the crime of Jovenel Moise, in Haiti
The Haitian authorities announced this Sunday the arrest of one of the alleged intellectual authors of the assassination of President Jovenel Moise, Christian Emmanuel Sanon, a doctor living in Florida, USA.
"When the advance of the bandits was blocked, the first person they called was Emmanuel Sanon," said the director general of the Haitian National Police, Léon Charles, in an intervention before the press, in which he considered that the reason of crime is "political."
Police are also investigating two other alleged masterminds of the assassination, who were in contact with Sanon, but their identities were not disclosed.
Similarly, the Police have taken "precautionary measures" against those responsible for the security of President Moise and information is being collected in order to determine "the degree of involvement of each one".
According to investigations, Sanon contacted a Venezuelan security company based in the United States in order to recruit members of the command that allegedly perpetrated the assassination. Sanon entered Haiti on a private flight in early June, accompanied by some of the Colombian mercenaries, whom he hired in order to guarantee his personal and business safety.
Later, "the mission changed" and one of the Colombians was presented with an arrest warrant against the President of the Republic. "The operation was mounted from there," said Charles.
Among other details of the investigation into Sanon, the police officer said that a kepi was found in his home with the initials DEA written on it.

Haiti’s police claim American recruited mercenaries.

A Haitian-born doctor based in Florida has been arrested as a “central” suspect in the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, and the national police chief suggested at a Sunday news conference that he believes the suspect was plotting to become president.
The doctor, Christian Emmanuel Sanon, 63, is the third Haitian-born suspect with U.S. ties to be arrested.
The Haitian national police chief, Léon Charles, painted Mr. Sanon as a key figure behind the president’s assassination.
“He arrived by private plane in June with political objectives and contacted a private security firm to recruit the people who committed this act,” the police chief said. The firm, he said, was a Venezuelan security company based in the United States called CTU.
“The initial mission that was given to these assailants was to protect the individual named Emmanuel Sanon, but afterwards the mission changed,” Mr. Charles said, implying that Mr. Sanon had meant to install himself as president.
As evidence, Mr. Charles said that Mr. Sanon was the person one of the Colombian suspects contacted after being arrested. During a raid on his home, the authorities said, the police found a U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency cap, a box of cartridges, two vehicles, six pistol holsters, about 20 boxes of bullets, 24 unused shooting targets and four license plates from the Dominican Republic.
