BOUNTY FOR HAITIAN TRIO

-

Haitian authoritie­s are offering a bounty on three key suspects in last month’s assassinat­ion of President Jovenel Moise.

Moise was killed on July 7 when a hit team burst into the presidenti­al residence and shot him dead. His wife was wounded but survived.

Justice Minister Rockefelle­r Vincent said the government is offering six million gourdes ($84,000) for help in arresting the wanted men.

The fugitives are Wendelle Coq Thelot, a former Supreme Court judge who was fired by Moise earlier in the year; Joseph Felix Badio, a former anti-corruption official; and John Joel Joseph, a former opposition senator.

More than a month after Moise’s assassinat­ion, it remains a mystery who ordered and sponsored the killing, in which not a single police officer from the presidenti­al security detail was targeted.
