Haiti - FLASH : Not a transfer but an extraction of the members of commando
Wednesday, February 20, following the return to the United States under the protection of FBI agent, of 7 foreigners https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-26991-haiti-flash-the-7-foreign-oof-commandos-have-left-haiti-without-handcuffs-for-the-usa.html heavily armed, arrested Sunday, February 17 in Port-au-Prince https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-26963-haiti-flash-a-mysterious-commando-of-heavily-armed-foreigners-arrested-in-port-au-prince.html , reactions and speculation are multiplying both at the level of the observers, of the justice and the political opposition ...

This return to the United States, which raises many questions, "has been coordinated with the Haitian authorities," said a spokesman for the State Department. Moreover, a note from the Minister of Justice Jean Roody Aly addressed to the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police (DCPJ) confirms this coordination "[...] I want to inform you that I authorized the procedure of transfer to the United States of US citizens and permanent residents, a total of seven people to meet charges of illegal transport of arms from the United States on Haitian territory."

However, Jude Charles Faustin, the adviser to President Jovenel Moïse asserts that the President was not informed of this decision as Pascal Adrien Spokesperson who indicates that Prime Minister Jean-Henry Céant was not aware of the situation and that the Prime Minister was awaiting explanations from the Minister of Justice.

Let's be clear these 7 foreigners, including 5 Americans: Talon R Burton, Kent Leland Kroeker (former Navy), Christopher Mark MC Kinley (formerly SEALS Navy), Christopher M. Osman (former SEALS Navy) and Dustin Daniel Porte as well as 2 foreigners having US permanent residence: Bajagic Danilo (Serb) and Vlade Jankovic (Serb) can not have been the subject of a prisoner transfer procedure, as these 7 men were neither convicted nor incarcerated in Haiti where they were under custody at the time of the FBI's intervention.

Referring to the document entitled "Prisoner Transfer Information for Americans Incarcerated Abroad" emanates from the United States Department of Justice, Criminal Division, International Prisoner Transfer Unit, it is clearly explained how a prisoner can be transferred to the USA.

"The International Prisoner Transfer Program, which is authorized by federal law and international treaties, is administered by the United States Department of Justice. An American prisoner is not eligible for transfer to the United States until he has been convicted and sentenced by the foreign country and the conviction and sentence are final (i.e. no pending appeals or other legal challenges to the sentence). Once that has occurred, the prisoner can initiate the application process" stipulates the document, which specifies "One of the most important requirements is that the sentencing country, the receiving country and the prisoner must all consent to the transfer. Another requirement is that dual criminality must exist, which means that the crime in the sentencing country is also a crime in the receiving country."

Sources close to the negotiations between the two countries have suggested that the intervention of the American Government would have decided following the statements of the Prime Minister Jean Henry Céant during an interview with CNN, which had qualified these men as "mercenaries" and "terrorists" causing the US Government's concern about the security of its citizens in Haiti, given the risk of politicization of this case by opponents of the ruling power while the country is in the middle of a socio-socio-political crisis since two weeks...

In summary, this departure for the least rapid of these men from the hands of Haitian justice is more like an extraction, which does not say its name ... While waiting to learn more about the reason for the presence of these men on the territory of Haiti.
