Mexico City: As he considered a new job offer, Mauricio Javier Romero asked his wife what she thought — but provided few details about the mission.
“It’s your decision , but you can count on my support,” she told him, according to the Colombian publication
Semana. “He was a man who always tried to do the right thing.”
Haitian authorities say Romero was part of a team of 26 Colombian mercenaries — most if not all former soldiers — who took part in the July 7 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise at his residence in the verdant hills above Port-au-Prince.
Colombia has conceded that the citizens who had been arrested in Haiti following the assassination were former members of its military.
