Most members of the “commando squad” sent to assassinate President Jovenel Moise on Wednesday have been killed or taken into custody, police in Haiti said on Friday.
The suspects reportedly include two Haitian-Americans and 26 Colombian military veterans. A manhunt for the masterminds of the plot continues with international assistance.
Haitian Minister of Elections Mathias Pierre on Thursday identified two of the detainees as Haitian-Americans: 35-year-old James Solages and 55-year-old Joseph Vincent. He offered no further information.
Fox News located a website for a South Florida charity evidently established by Solages in 2019 in which he claimed to be a “certified diplomatic agent” whose resume included working as a bodyguard for the Canadian embassy in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
