Eighteen suspects extradited to US for 2021 Haiti president killing

Eighteen people suspected of killing Haitian President Jovenel Moïse have been sent to the United States to face trial in Florida. Moïse was assassinated in July 2021, shocking the country. The suspects include former Colombian soldiers, a former Haitian police officer, and Joseph Badio, who once worked in a Haitian anti-corruption unit. Badio had been hiding for over two years before police caught him in October 2023. In total, thirty people have been charged in connection with the killing. Four of the suspects have already been found guilty by a jury of plotting to kill or kidnap the president. The remaining suspects will now go through the legal process in Florida under U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones.
