FILE - Two suspects in the assassination of Haiti's President Jovenel Moise are moved to be displayed to the media at the General Direction of the police in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Thursday, July 8, 2021. Colombian President Iván Duque said Wednesday, April 13, 2022, that there is evidence and testimony that seriously implicates “practically all” of the former Colombian soldiers who are arrested in Haiti in relation to the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse.
More than 40 people have been arrested in Haiti in connection with the killing, including several Haitian police officers, a former Haitian senator and 18 former Colombian soldiers. Duque seemed to be referring to Mario Antonio José Palacios, identified as one of the main suspects in Moïse’s murder. He is detained in Florida. According to the accusations, Palacios spoke voluntarily and said he was hired to travel to Haiti to offer security and participate in a purported operation to arrest the president.
That same month he also told a radio station that “everything indicates a large group of people who arrived in Haiti were ‘blindfolded,’ taken for a supposed protection mission, while others, a small group apparently, had detailed knowledge of the criminal operation and the intent to kill the president of Haiti.”“We can try to work diplomatically to guarantee that the trial be carried out earlier and that they have a minimum of conditions as inmates.
