Mercenarios colombianos detenidos en Haití.
9 de Julio - Los colombianos implicados en el asesinato del presidente haitiano Jovenel Moïse fueron reclutados por cuatro compañías y viajaron a la nación caribeña en dos grupos a través de la República Dominicana, dijo el director de la policía de Colombia el viernes, mientras que Estados Unidos señaló que enviará a altos funcionarios del FBI y de Seguridad Nacional para que ayuden en la investigación.
El jefe de la Policía Nacional haitiana, Léon Charles, dijo que 17 sospechosos han sido detenidos con relación al homicidio de Moïse, el cual sacudió a un país que ya se duele de la pobreza, la violencia y la inestabilidad política.
