A Florida-based doctor was arrested in connection with the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse on Sunday
A Florida-based doctor was arrested in connection with the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse on Sunday, Haiti’s national police chief announced, becoming the third U.S.-based individual tied to the brazen killing that has caused political chaos in the Caribbean nation.
Sanon allegedly arrived in Haiti last month in a private plane where he contacted a private security firm to recruit people to carry out the killing, police said. Haitian police claim that during a raid of Sanon’s home they recovered 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.
The announcement of Sanon’s arrest came just hours after senior FBI and Department of Homeland Security officials arrived in Haiti to discuss how the U.S. can offer assistance.
