On Tuesday afternoon, appearing in Miami District Court Mario Antonio Palacios speaking Spanish through an interpreter, was charged by the United States Department of Justice for his alleged involvement with conspiracy to commit murder or kidnapping outside the US in connection with the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse. Note that this is the first official indictment in this case.
U.S. prosecutors said the plot against Moise "was initially aimed at the kidnapping of the President but then the plan would have changed and the group, under the leadership of a man identified as 'Co-Conspirator Number 1' (in detention in Haiti ), would have been responsible for killing Jovenel Moïse.
According to a report from the National Police of Haiti (PNH) published last August, Palacios was part of a group of five men called "the Delta team" who entered Jovenel Moïse's bedroom and shot him down. The other four members are currently in detention in Haiti.
If convicted, Palacios faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment in the United States.
