PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Eighteen suspects who were arrested in the July 2021 killing of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse were awaiting extradition to the U.S. on Sunday, marking the end of a drawn-out judicial process in Haiti for a killing that shocked the troubled Caribbean country. The suspects will face trial in Florida, according to U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Reding Quiñones. “Today marks the next major phase in our pursuit of accountability for the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse,” he wrote on X. “We will follow the evidence wherever it leads, to those who financed it, facilitated it, supported it or committed crimes to make it possible. Five years later, we are still bringing defendants before American courts, and we are not finished.” Miami May 8 4 men found guilty in Miami in Haitian President Jovenel Moïse's assassination Haiti Feb 20, 2024 Widow, aides of assassinated Haitian President Jovenel Moïse are among dozens indicted in his killin
