Porto Príncipe, 14 Jul 2021 (AFP) - Dois agentes de segurança do assassinado presidente haitiano Jovenel Moise não responderam às convocações do Ministério Público (MP) de Porto Príncipe, encarregado da investigação criminal, declarou a AFP uma fonte judicial nesta quarta-feira (14).
O chefe de segurança de Jovenel Moise, Dimitri Hérard, não compareceu nesta quarta-fera ao MP, assim como o comissário de divisão Jean Laguel Civil, coordenador de segurança do presidente, que deveria ter se apresentado na terça, de acordo com um comissário do MP.
Hérard foi convocado em função da aparente facilidade com a qual os assassinos mataram o chefe de Estado do Haiti. Ele também está sendo investigado por Bogotá por suas diversas viagens à Colômbia, onde residem vários dos suspeitos, e a outros lugares da América do Sul.
