Colombia police claim Haitian ex-justice official ordered Moise assassination
[Iran Press TV] A Colombian police chief claims a former Haitian Justice Ministry official ordered two former Colombian soldiers to assassinate President Jovenel Moise.
Moise was assassinated by a hit squad at his private residence in the capital Port-au-Prince on July 7.
Haitian authorities say the operation involved at least 26 people, many of them Colombian mercenaries, who were hired through the Florida-based security company CTU.
Speaking in an edited video clip provided to media outlets, the police chief, Jorge Vargas, said an investigation by Haitian and Colombian authorities alongside Interpol into the murder had revealed that Joseph Felix Badio may have ordered the liquidation.
Badio had first told the former soldiers — Duberney Capador and German Rivera — that they would be "arresting" the president, Vargas said.
But a few days before the operation, Badio told them that the plan had been changed and that "what they had to do was assassinate the president of Haiti," Vargas added.
