Colombian Charged With President Moise Murder

A former Colombian military officer has been charged in the US in connection with the assassination of Haiti’s President Jovenel Moïse last July. 

Mario Antonio Palacios, 43, is accused of having “participated in a plot to kidnap or kill the Haitian president”, the US justice department said. 

He appeared at a Miami court on Tuesday to hear the charges against him.

Mr Moïse was shot dead on 7 July by gunmen who stormed his residence in the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince.
