Twists and turns add doubt to Haiti’s assassination investigation

Live Mint  

The Haitian president lay dead on the floor, with multiple gunshot wounds. “Whoever was involved in the murder, this person will be brought to justice," Mr. Moïse’s successor, acting President Ariel Henry, said in a recent interview. Those who knew the preacher said he was averse to guns, according to Steven Bross, a 65-year-old airline pilot who was Mr. Sanon’s neighbor in the 2000s in Brandon, Fla. “He’s a godly man and thinks everybody else should be too," he said. Laurent Lamothe, a former prime minister and close ally of Mr. Moïse, said Mr. Sanon was a “smoke screen," distracting the officials from finding the real mastermind. Mr. Joseph said he was working for the FBI on a State Department-backed mission to arrest 34 government officials for a host of crimes, including money laundering, corruption, drug trafficking and the sale of diplomatic passports in the Middle East, according to the lawyer, who added the men wanted Mr. Corvington’s advice on how Haitian people would react.
