The American Media Univision has made new revelations about the assassination of former Haitian President Jovenel Moise. According to the newspaper, several of the alleged assassins of Jovenel Moise “have close ties to U.S. intelligence agencies.”
The fifth-largest U.S. media network notably cited the name of Haitian businessman Rodolphe Jaar, who worked for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) as an informant. It also cited Joseph Vincent, who also worked for the American intelligence services.
Another individual answering to the name of Arcangel Pretel is also mentioned. The latter, who is a former Colombian military trainer, had collaborated in counter-narcotics operations in the 1990s, when the CIA, DEA and Colombian forces cooperated closely to bring down the Medellin and Cali drug cartels, revealed Univision, which reported on other alleged assassins of Jovenel Moise who had collaborated in the past with the CIA and / or the DEA
The popular American media also revealed that the U.S. Department of Justice has asked the federal judge handling the case in the state of Florida to take steps to protect certain documents that should not be made public.
“The government says that the evidence in the trial of a Colombian man accused of participating in the assassination of President Jovenel Moise involves classified information,” according to Univision, which recalls that last July the Justice Department asked a Miami court to impose special security measures to prevent classified information from being made public in the case of one of the men accused of participating in the alleged assassination plot of the Haitian president (ed.).” The newspaper also reported that a Florida-based security company was also allegedly involved in the planning and execution of the assassination of Jovenel Moise.
According to a former head of DEA operations in the Caribbean, Mike Vigil, quoted by Univision, the behavior of the U.S. government “pretty much suggests that the CIA was involved” in the execution of the former Haitian President.
The trial of Colombian Mario Palacios should take place next month. But all indications are that the date will not be maintained to avoid top secret classified information being revealed to the general public.
In an article published by CNN, the investigating judge Garry Aurélien, who was in charge of the case of the assassination of Jovenel Moise, had cited the name of the de facto Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry who would be involved up to his neck in the murder of the former head of state. The name of former President Michel Joseph Martelly is also cited by the executive director of the National Human Rights Defense Network, Pierre Espérance, and others. But, Ariel Henry and Michel Martelly seem to have the full support of the U.S. government.
