18 suspects in Jovenel Moïse assassination flown to U.S. for trial
Turns out the plot to take over a country for government contracts didn't exactly go as planned.
Remember that wild 2021 hit on the Haitian president? Well, the legal net just tightened. A military plane touched down to haul in 18 more suspects, mostly former Colombian soldiers, to face charges stateside. They thought they were staging a high-stakes coup to grab lucrative contracts, but it turned into a messy, violent disaster.
It wasn't just some random gang hit. This was a corporate-style plot involving Florida-based businessmen who wanted to install their own puppet leader. They hired hitmen, recruited local gang leaders, and genuinely thought they could run a nation like a failed startup. Things went sideways fast when the mission devolved from a simple kidnapping into a cold-blooded murder.
Turns out, playing geopolitical kingmaker in your spare time comes with a life sentence. It’s wild how these amateur hour villains thought they could operate like a shadow government without getting caught in the machinery of international law.
