Eighteen Suspects Extradited to US Over Haitian President's 2021 Killing The extradition of 18 suspects to the United States for their alleged roles in the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise in 2021 is a significant moment in the pursuit of justice for this heinous crime.
The complex web of international involvement and transnational financing that underpinned the plot has raised questions about the effectiveness of national borders in preventing such crimes.
Trying these suspects in a US federal court, rather than in Haiti, reflects concerns over the stability and functionality of the Haitian judicial system in the face of rampant gang violence and entrenched corruption.
