thebalanced.newsUS Court Convicts Four Men in Haitian President Jovenel Moise Assassination Case
A US court convicted four men—Arcangel Pretel Ortiz, Antonio Intriago, James Solages, and Walter Veintemilla—of conspiracy to kill Haitian President Jovenel Moise and related charges. A fifth defendant, Christian Emmanuel Sanon, will face trial later due to health issues. Defense lawyers argue their clients intended only to serve an arrest warrant and claim Moise was already killed by his own security forces. The assassination has intensified Haiti's political instability and sparked multiple investigations in both Haiti and the US.
