Leaked Audio Confession Blows Lid Off Mystery of Haiti’s Murdered President
Joseph Odelyn/AP
Hours of audio recordings reportedly reveal grim details behind the assassination of Haiti’s president.
Sep. 02, 2021
Let’s say that you’re a foreign mercenary. And that you and some of your best buds, who are also foreign mercenaries, have just shot to death the leader of an island nation, the inhabitants of which are now likely to be more than a little vexed with you. And let’s further say that there’s an escape plan already set up that would see you out of the dead president’s home and safely on your way.
What do you think you would do next?
Well, if you were one of the Colombian mercenaries who killed Haitian President Jovenel Moïse back in July, you’d apparently choose to push back on the get-away plans so as to stick around and ransack the home looking for loot.
That was just one of many jaw-dropping details revealed during some 15 hours of audio-taped confessions reportedly given by the Colombian mercs to Haitian officials which were, in turn, leaked to Colombian media giant Caracol in late August. In fact, the testimony given by the former soldiers, many of whom had been trained by the U.S., may have solved the riddle of who funded and masterminded the plot against Moïse.
In a follow-up piece by La Semana, another major print and web presence in Colombia, the confessions were confirmed as having been recorded “before the authorities in Haiti.” Subsequently, dozens of media hubs in Latin America ran stories about the Colombians’ tragic misadventures.
“Before the operation [the Colombian mercenaries] had been informed that Moïse had between 18 and 45 million dollars in his house,” Caracol reported. “There were three tasks: the first was to [kill] the president, the second was to take the entire camera system, and the third was to find the suitcases of money,” said retired Colombian army captain Germán Rivera, who is referred to as “Mike” during the audio sessions.
After the assassination, and about a half-hour of searching, Mike and his crew of 26 Colombians and two Haitian American commandos had dismantled the cameras and found “two suitcases and three boxes apparently loaded with bills,” according to Caracol.
The stolen money, say Mike and his men, was intended to compensate both themselves and the Miami-based security firm for which they worked. That company is called CTU, and it has steadfastly denied it was behind the coup, instead blaming Moïse’s own security detail.
But the imprisoned Colombians are clear about who they believe had hired them, and why, even going so far as to allege that CTU had worked with a Haitian named Joseph Felix Badio to help orchestrate the putsch.
Badio and four more allegedly complicit Haitians were allegedly supposed to watch the Colombians’ backs during the operation and assist with their escape plan, which was to race toward the Presidential Palace for the swearing-in of the new president.
Yet when Mike’s team emerged from Moïse’s house, they said they found Badio was gone and the cops were already waiting up the street with armored vehicles.
“[Badio] arrived with us, and the next moment he left with the [other accomplices], he left us alone. They were in a gray Ford,” says Franco Castañeda in the leaked confession.
“The Colombians were duped,” says Mike Vigil, a former U.S. government official who served in Haiti and the Caribbean. “Badio used the mercenaries as fall guys to distance himself from the killing.”
An arrest warrant for “murder and armed robbery” against Moïse was issued in mid-July for Badio, a former member of the Haitian government’s anti-corruption unit. At the time, a high-ranking Haitian official told CNN that, “The intellectual masterminds are bigger than [Badio]. Who financed the operation is still the big question mark.”
But Vigil said that big question might have just been answered by the Colombians’ declarations. “It looks like there wasn’t another mastermind needed to fund this operation,” Vigil said.
In an interview published on Aug. 22 with the Colombian media outlet La Semana, an unnamed mercenary still on the lam and hiding out in Haiti further elaborated on how he and his comrades had been used as patsies:
“[CTU and Badio] deceived all of us who came from Colombia. We were deceived. We were lured like children with sweets, happy because it was a good job offer and because the pay was good too. They were going to pay us $2,700 then. It was a job offer. We did not come as mercenaries to kill anyone.”
To that last point, an arrest warrant found with the captured Colombians supports their testimony: that they initially believed they were being sent to detain a corrupt leader, not to kill him.
All that allegedly changed shortly before the attack, when Badio allegedly gave Mike new orders:
“He said that we had to kill everyone [...] the police, the president's security, everyone inside the house had to be killed.”
One-time lieutenant Carmona can be heard on the audio saying: “If there was even a pet, we were to kill the pet, there could be no witnesses.”
After allegedly being abandoned by Badio, the mercenaries claimed they loaded the suitcases with cash, security footage, and some official documents into the remaining vehicles and tried to flee the scene. When they encountered a police roadblock, they ditched the cars and took shelter in an abandoned building. Haitian security forces then attacked with tear gas, .50 caliber machine guns, and fragmentation grenades, killing three of the mercenaries.
Cut off from their rendezvous point at the Presidential Palace, the surviving Colombians said they radioed their chief liaison in Haiti, Arcángel Pretel, a fellow Colombian national who was listed as a CTU member. During the day-long firefight, Pretel is said to have repeatedly assured the men that reinforcements were coming to rescue them.
“That help never came because it simply never existed,” Caracol reported. After a 36-hour standoff, all but a few of the Colombians were captured peacefully in the Taiwanese Embassy, where they had gone to seek asylum. They now face multiple life sentences in Haiti’s infamous prison system.
This story has almost too many what-ifs to count. Among them: What would have happened if Mike had simply ordered his men to pack up and go home when Badio altered the plan from detaining the president to killing him? Haiti’s history may have been forever altered with that single choice.
But another major question is this: Just who was supposed to be sworn in that night at the Presidential Palace? Clearly many in Haiti’s political class had knives out for the president. So who were CTU and Badio supposed to have been working with? Who was to be Moïse’s illegitimate successor?
If the Colombians are telling the truth, it turns out there were three candidates. The first was Haitian American physician Emmanuel Sanon, who was arrested early in connection to the operation.
“CTU told [Sanon] that there was the possibility [to satisfy] his aspirations to be president,” said Captain Rivera, aka Mike. Eventually Sanon was ruled out as an heir to the throne because he wasn’t a politician, was unpopular, and “lacked strength,” Mike said.
Next up was a candidate the group referred to as “Diamante” [Diamond]. That was the alias given to Windelle Coq. She had served as a high-ranking federal judge until Moïse himself fired her in February of this year, apparently fearing she was planning his downfall. Diamante held key meetings at her home that were attended by some of the Colombian mercenaries, and she and her allies had also vowed to use their underworld connections to help further the coup.
In the end, her advanced age and entrenched political ties caused the plotters to rule out Diamante just as they had Sanon, according to the mercenary’s testimony. Reuters reports that Coq’s whereabouts are currently unknown and she is considered a fugitive from justice in Haiti.
The man eventually decided on, according to several of the Colombians mercs, is none other than Haiti’s current interim president, Claude Joseph. At the time of the assassination, Joseph was the nation’s prime minister, and thus automatically in line to take over if anything happened to Moïse.
“We had the second in command,” Caracol reports an unidentified mercenary as saying. “Jovenel was dead and the prime minister remained. We didn't even have to make an escape plan because the prime minister was going to protect us. And instead of protecting us, he betrayed and trapped us.”
The same confessor went on to point out that Prime Minister Joseph’s announcements to the press, in the immediate wake of the attack on July 7, in effect served as his own inadvertent admission of guilt.
“After half an hour he had already said that [the assailants] were Colombian, and without any investigation or anything,” he said.
More than a month before the leaked audio tapes were released, Caracol had publicly accused Joseph of being involved in the murder scheme. That report indicated he had been working with CTU and the Colombians to orchestrate the assassination since at least November of 2020.
Joseph himself has downplayed these charges and Hatian National Police Chief Léon Charles has called them “a lie,” though authorities have not provided evidence as to who else might have been behind the killing.
Despite the fact that the leaked audio confessions by the Colombian ex-soldiers were part of Haitian authorities’ own investigation, those same authorities appear to have actively suppressed the portions that were damaging to the interim president, stating: “The clues and information collected as part of the investigation do not reveal any link with the prime minister.”
Former U.S. official Vigil believes this is precisely why someone saw fit to leak the audio confessions of the Colombians abroad, so that their voices, and informed accusations against Joseph, might be heard.
The source of the leak, “definitely had to be a member of the Haitian National Police,” Vigil said. “The audios appear to be tape-recorded confessions of the mercenaries during their interrogations.”
Vigil added that the Haitian Police force is “one of the most corrupt in the hemisphere. They don’t have even the slightest credibility… I firmly believe this was a broad conspiracy by many in the Haitian government. We have not yet seen the very tip of the iceberg.”
The allegations against interim President Joseph were also backed by former Haitian President Michel Marthelly, who tweeted his belief that Caracol was right in naming Joseph as the intellectual author of the coup.
“The one thing I know is that [Joseph] is not innocent,” ex-president Marthelly wrote, accompanying the tweet with a picture of Moïse’s dead body. Like Vigil, Marthelly also expressed concern that high-ranking officials within the national police might be complicit in attempting to subdue evidence linking Joseph to the crime, and in particular singled out Police Chief Charles.
The office of the interim president and CTU did not respond to requests for comment or interviews with The Daily Beast at the time of publication.
“If you consider the fact that Claude Joseph is in office today, it unfortunately appears that the coup against Moïse was successful,” Vigil said.

Haiti prosecutor asks judge to charge, probe PM in slaying
September 14, 2021
Haiti's chief prosecutor asked a judge Tuesday to charge Prime Minister Ariel Henry in the slaying of the president and to bar him from leaving the country, a move that could further destabilize a country roiled by turmoil following the assassination and a recent major earthquake.
The order filed by Port-au-Prince prosecutor Bed-Ford Claude came on the same day that he requested that Henry meet with him and explain why a key suspect in the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse called him twice just hours after the killing.
“There are enough compromising elements ... to prosecute Henry and ask for his outright indictment,” Claude wrote.
A spokesman for Henry could not immediately be reached for comment.
Claude said the calls were made at 4:03 a.m. and 4:20 a.m. on July 7, adding that evidence shows the suspect, Joseph Badio, was in the vicinity of Moïse’s home at that time. Badio once worked for Haiti’s Ministry of Justice and at the government’s anti-corruption unit until he was fired in May amid accusations of violating unspecified ethical rules.
In the two-page document, Claude said the calls lasted a total of seven minutes and that Henry was at the Hotel Montana in Port-au-Prince at the time. He also noted that a government official tweeted last month that Henry told him he never spoke with Badio.
On Monday, Justice Minister Rockfeller Vincent ordered the chief of Haiti's National Police to boost security for Claude because the prosecutor had received “important and disturbing” threats in the past five days.
The Associated Press obtained a letter dated Monday in which Henry told Claude he was firing him for an undefined “serious administrative fault” and that the decision was effective as soon as he received the document. It wasn’t immediately clear whether Claude received it or whether his instruction to charge Henry was valid given the letter. Claude did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The judge in the case, Garry Orelien, is required to investigate based on Claude's request and has three months to determine whether to take action.
Robert Fatton, a Haitian politics expert at the University of Virginia, said there was clearly a power struggle within the government between Henry and those who supported Moïse.
“We have a very confusing situation, a power struggle at the moment, and we will see who will win it,” he said. “It’s not clear where we are going, and it’s not clear what the international community thinks about everything.”
In recent days, Haiti's ombudsman-like Office of Citizen Protection announced it was demanding that Henry step down and asked that the international community stop supporting him.
Henry has not specifically addressed the issue in public, although during a meeting with politicians and civil society leaders on Saturday, he said he is committed to helping stabilize Haiti.
“Rest assured that no distraction, no summons or invitation, no maneuver, no threat, no rear-guard combat, no aggression will distract me from my mission,” Henry said. “The real culprits, the intellectual authors and coauthor and sponsor of the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse will be found and brought to justice and punished for their crimes.”
Moïse had appointed Henry as prime minister shortly before he was killed at his home in an attack that also seriously wounded his wife, Martine Moïse.
More than 40 suspects have been arrested in the case, including 18 former Colombian soldiers. Authorities are still looking for additional suspects, including Badio and a former Haitian senator.
The investigation is ongoing despite court clerks going into hiding after receiving death threats if they didn’t change certain names and statements in their reports.
In addition, a Haitian judge assigned to oversee the investigation stepped down last month citing personal reasons. He left after one of his assistants died in unclear circumstances. A new judge has been assigned.

This whole thing is turning into a soap opera. Ariel Henry talking with Badjo twice the night of the assassination. Don Kato being implicated. Boulos and Dimitry Vorbe being involved. We are going deep in the rabbit hole. This week in Haiti is going to determine the future of the country.

Haiti's PM Replaces The Prosecutor Who Wanted Him Charged In The President's Slaying
September 14, 2021
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — A new chief prosecutor was sworn in Tuesday just hours after his predecessor asked a judge to charge Prime Minister Ariel Henry in the slaying of the president and to bar him from leaving Haiti, a move that could further destabilize a country roiled by turmoil following the assassination and a recent major earthquake.
The request filed by Port-au-Prince prosecutor Bed-Ford Claude, who was fired by Henry, came on the same day that the prosecutor had asked that the prime minister come to a meeting and explain why he spoke twice with a key suspect in the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse just hours after the killing.
"There are enough compromising elements ... to prosecute Henry and ask for his outright indictment," Claude wrote before he was replaced by Frantz Louis Juste, a prosecutor who oversaw the case involving the deaths of more than a dozen children in a fire at an orphanage near Port-au-Prince last year.
Late on Tuesday, a letter from Henry to Claude dated Sept. 13 emerged in which he said he was firing him for "grave administrative error", without going into detail. In a separate letter dated Sept. 14, he named Frantz Louis Juste to the post.
It remains unclear whether the order actually is valid as Haiti's 1987 constitution mandates that the prosecutor can only be appointed or fired by the president, a position that remains vacant
A spokesman for Henry could not be reached for comment.
That's some Trump shyt. What a joke. The rule of law is one big joke over there. But my mother would say they're all in their positions illegally anyway. I'm kind of glad all these migrants are at the Texas border. America coddled this regime and these guns that the gangs are getting are coming from somewhere. They've made it hard to live in Haiti. Now the problem is at their doorstep. I don't want hear any complaining from these motherfukkers.

New Revelations on Haiti Assassination: Grenade-Dropping Drones, Paranoid President & Guards Who Ran
Miami Herald Haiti and Caribbean correspondent Jacqueline Charles discusses new revelations about the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse. In her piece, “Grenade-dropping drones, a paranoid president, guards who ran: Latest on Haiti assassination,” she reports the night President Jovenel Moïse was shot “was actually the second time in a span of weeks that his life was in danger, according to testimony from one of the Colombians in custody and one of the Haitian Americans.”

Like I've written before, Haitians on the island are on their own. Many have to migrate to have a chance to earn a living, and endure and accept all manner of abuse until they are in position to not have to. It is what it is.
Haitian govt. leaves us out to hang, and sits back and lets the diaspora support the economy by sending money back home.
Texas shyt was hard to watch, because it's desperation that drove our people there.

I brought up NHAEON here before.
They are supposed to be one of the political voices for Haitian Americans.
About - NHAEON-National Haitian American Elected Officials Network
We're pressing them to release a public statement demanding humane treatment for the Haitians at the border, and to get to the bottom of the story(ID the agents and their boss). Check the list of the current officials in the organization to see if they are in your state.
Hopefully, the group gets stronger over time and we can use it as a vehicle to get things done in the future
