Her police Haiti announced on Sunday night that it had arrested a Haitian national “for political purposes” recruiting the assailants who assassinated President Jouvenel Moyes inside his residence in Port-au-Prince in the early hours of Wednesday 7 July.
“This is a man who entered Haiti by private plane, having political goals”, announced Leon Charles, the general director of the Haitian police.
Arriving in the country in June, 63-year-old Christian Emanuel Shannon, a Haitian national, was accompanied by several Colombian nationals responsible for his safety, according to details given by Charles during a press conference in the presence of several ministers.
“The mission later changed,” Charles explained. “The mission was to arrest the president of the Republic and the operation changed from there: 22 more people then entered Haiti,” he added.
The interrogations of the 18 Colombian nationals arrested since Wednesday have allowed Haitian police to learn that Christian Emanuel Sanon recruited the 26 commandos through the services of a Venezuelan security company called CTU, based in Florida.
“When we, the police, blocked the way of these murderers after they had committed their crime, the first person one of the perpetrators called was Christian Emanuel Shannon. “He, in turn, came in contact with two other people who we believe are the moral perpetrators of the assassination of President Zovenel Moiz,” said the general director of the Haitian police, without giving details about the identities of these two suspects.
Members of the FBI State Department, the US Department of Justice and the US Department of Homeland Security arrived in Haiti on Sunday and met with the director general of the Haitian police. The US delegation met separately with key figures in the political arena, including Prime Minister Claude Joseph.
No Haitian police officers were injured in the arrests of the alleged Colombian mercenaries, three of whom were killed.
