Buenos Aires [Argentina], September 22: Eighteen people facing charges over the 2021 assassination of Haitian president Jovenel Moïse were extradited to the United States on Sunday, authorities said.
The group is set to stand trial in the US state of Florida over their alleged involvement in the killing.
US Attorney Jason Quiñones said the extradition was the "next major phase in our pursuit of accountability" for the assassination of Moïse.
"Our work did not end with the men who planned and carried out this assassination. We will follow the evidence wherever it leads, to those who financed it, facilitated it, supported it, or committed crimes to make it possible. Five years later, we are still bringing defendants before American courts, and we are not finished." The Haitian Ministry of Justice confirmed the extradition.
