US authorities arrest one of the main suspects in the killing of Haitian president Jovenel Moise and charge him with conspiracy to commit murder or kidnapping outside US
US authorities have charged a retired Colombian soldier over the assassination of Haiti's President Jovenel Moise last July.
Palacios was detained at a Panamanian airport late on Monday and flown to Miami as part of a "voluntary extradition" deal. US prosecutors said the plot against Moise "initially focused on conducting a kidnapping of the president as part of a purported arrest operation," but it "ultimately resulted in a plot to kill."
Palacios had been on his way to Colombia after being deported by Jamaica for a lack of evidence connecting him to the assassination, but he was arrested during a stopover at Tocumen International Airport in Panama.
