Haiti’s Leader Kept a List of Drug Traffickers. His Assassins Came for It.
In the months before his murder, President Jovenel Moïse took a number of steps to fight drug and arms smugglers. Some officials now fear he was killed for it.

Haiti’s Leader Kept a List of Drug Traffickers. His Assassins Came for It.
(article is way too long to post)

Mr. Martelly, who is considering another run for the presidency, and Mr. Saint-Rémy were hugely influential in Mr. Moïse’s government, with a say in everything from who got public contracts to which cabinet ministers got appointed, according to Haitian officials inside and outside his administration. But Mr. Moïse came to feel that they and other oligarchs were stifling his presidency, his aides say.

We're getting closer to the truth now.

EDIT: The US endorsed Henry knowing his involvement, no?

Top suspect in Haiti assassination probe in U.S. custody in Miami

A key suspect in the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse is in U.S. custody in Miami after being arrested Tuesday morning by federal agents upon arrival from Panama, multiple U.S. government sources familiar with the matter told McClatchy and the Miami Herald.

Mario Antonio Palacios Palacios, known as “Floro,” is scheduled to have his first appearance in federal court Tuesday afternoon. He will be the first person allegedly involved in the assassination of the Haitian president to be formally charged with a crime.

Palacios had been in custody in Jamaica, which moved to deport him to his homeland of Colombia Monday. He didn’t make it, apparently finding himself diverted to the United States during a stopover in Panama.

The investigation is a joint effort by the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations. Sources familiar with the investigation said he faces charges of conspiracy to provide material support resulting in the death of a foreign leader and conspiracy to kidnap and kill a foreign leader.

According to a Haiti National Police investigation report obtained by the Herald, a hit squad of ex-Colombian military soldiers, accompanied by two Haitian Americans and Haitian police officers, swarmed the Haitian presidential compound above the hills in Port-au-Prince with military precision. Claiming to be part of a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration operation, each team leader carried a Samsung Galaxy smartphone — to photograph the president’s corpse and assure the masterminds of his death, according to police

Thanks. There was a related story reported last week.

At a little-noticed House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing in March 2021, headlined “Policy Recommendations on Haiti for the Biden Administration,” a former ambassador to Haiti recommended that the way to deal with troublesome President Jovenel Moïse was to “put him aside” and embrace something she called “the prime minister option.”

The U.S. was unsatisfied with Moïse and, as new elections approached amid a deteriorating on-the-ground situation, wanted a faster transition.

“It would be nice if he would step down, but I do not think that is going to happen,” said former Ambassador Pamela White at the hearing, under questioning from Rep. Ted Deutch, D-Fla. White was a foreign service officer in Haiti from 1985 to 1990, and served as ambassador from 2012 to 2015. “So I think if we sort of put him aside, you know, in the best of all worlds, and we have a prime minister appointed that is noncorrupt, that is not from the political sector, is not from the private sector — there are several really good candidates. I am not going to name them, but there are several.”

===================================

Question needs to posed about how high up the chain of command did the alleged sanction come from, and from who?

In post #1018, there's history of Haitian ex-pats being trained by the CIA to overthrow Duvalier. President Kennedy himself is on tape suggesting the operation.

Because of the global political climate at the time (USSR as a world power, Communist Cuba right next US), Haiti posed a bit of a threat to U.S. interests if they turned Communist too. So highest ranking govt. officials actively sabotaging Haitian leadership added up.

In 2022, Haiti poses no threat to U.S. interests, so how high up the ladder would the greenlight come from, and from who?

It comes from the very top. Always has and always will.

Haitian defendant in president’s murder appears to be cooperating with U.S. investigators

Updated January 26, 2022 6:27 PM
A convicted Haitian drug trafficker who voluntarily flew to Miami to face new charges in the assassination of Haiti’s president agreed Wednesday to be detained and appears to be cooperating with U.S. investigators as they zero in on a network of foreign and South Florida suspects.

Rodolphe Jaar, a former Drug Enforcement Administration informant, is accused of playing a central role in providing housing, weapons and other support to a group of Colombian commandos suspected of murdering Jovenel Moïse in his home outside Port-au-Prince in July.

Jaar’s assistant public defender Joaquin Padilla told a magistrate judge Wednesday that for now he would not contest his detention before trial and that he also would not challenge a criminal complaint filed last week before his arrest. Magistrate Judge Lisette Reid ordered Jaar’s detention before trial and scheduled his next court appearance for late February, when it will become clearer whether he will continue to negotiate a plea deal or opt to face a grand jury indictment.

Jaar, 49, who has both Haitian and Chilean citizenship, is charged with providing material support resulting in the death of Haiti’s president and conspiring to kill or kidnap him outside the United States. He faces up to life in prison.

According to law enforcement sources, Jaar has critical information that could help agents with the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations build a stronger conspiracy case against Haitian, Colombian and South Florida suspects in the assassination of Haiti’s president
