SEMANA spoke with Giovanna Arelis Romero Dussan, wife of retired Army First Sergeant Mauricio Javier Romero, who died in Haiti, in confusing events in that country. The woman recounted the last moments she spent in the company of her partner before never hearing from him again.

“Mauricio, when boarding his flight at the airport, took a photo of his ticket saying that he was going to Santo Domingo and that was the information that we knew, we had no knowledge that he was in another country, we always believed in communications; he did not give details of where he was, "he said.

The Herald also reveals that the CTU company is registered as a Counter-Terrorism Unit, being also a federal academy and that it was created only in 2019, in the company's records also appears Arcángel Pretel Ortiz, a citizen who had also had a signature own security and that it was liquidated.

Intriago's company has permits to carry firearms and provide security services, and the media verified that it was also a supplier of other types of military and police elements, such as bulletproof vests, ammunition, spare parts and other types of articles. However, due to the firm's short history and lack of recognition in the state of Florida, it is believed that it did not have the financial muscle to train dozens of mercenaries who broke into Moïse's residence and assassinated him.

Faced with this type of information, the Haitian government minister, Mathias Pierre, asked the United States and the United Nations (UN) to send troops to protect its ports, airport and other strategic sites, after the assassination of the president.

“We think that the mercenaries [who are accused of the crime] could destroy some infrastructure to create chaos in the country. During a conversation with the Secretary of State of the United States and the UN, we made this request, ”the official told The New York Times .

In his speech he added that "the group that financed the mercenaries wants to create chaos in the country, attack gas reserves and the airport could be part of the plan."
