According to the Associated Press Port-au-Prince report on July 9, the Colombian police chief said on Friday that the Colombians suspected of assassinating the President of Haiti were recruited by four companies and joined Haiti in two batches via Dominican Republic.
According to the report, as the investigation deepened, the assassination showed a complex international conspiracy. In addition to the Colombians, the police also detained two Haitian Americans who reportedly acted as interpreters for the attackers.
Colombian police officer Vargas said that the four companies “recruited and gathered these people,” although he did not specify which companies they were.
According to a report on the website of the British "Guardian" on July 9, the reported presence of so many foreigners among the assassins of Haitian leaders has shocked many countries, especially Haiti itself. However, for many years, Colombian killers have appeared in war zones around the world, including Yemen, Iraq, Israel, and Afghanistan.
The report pointed out that many killers have been trained by the US military. After years of fighting with rebels or drug dealers in Colombia, they will go to the US private military contract company to find work.
Adam Isaacson, director of the Department of Defense Supervision at the Latin American Institute in Washington, said: "After years of war, Colombia has a large surplus of soldiers trained in lethal tactics. Many of them are employed by private companies. This time, I don’t know who they are employed to plan. This action in Haiti."
In addition, according to a report on the website of the Latin American News Agency on July 9, the infiltration of mercenaries and paramilitary personnel, especially American personnel, in Haiti is not new. In February 2019, 8 people were arrested in the center of Port-au-Prince. According to reports, they were wearing bulletproof vests, carrying weapons and communication equipment. After being arrested, they claimed to be carrying out a "government mission", and they did not specify which government it was. Of the eight people, two were former members of the U.S. Navy's Special Operations Forces and one was a former member of the Marine Corps. There are two other American citizens, two Serbs and one Haitian.
However, apart from the Haitian, none of these individuals were called to testify or appear before any judge or police authority.
According to reports, in November 2019, a former U.S. Marine with arms and ammunition was detained at Dusan Louvidul International Airport. His travel was authorized by American Airlines. But he was not questioned and was quickly transferred from the country to the United States.
The report pointed out that the two apparently isolated cases may not be so accidental, especially considering the following factors: firstly, these are actually infiltration cases discovered accidentally by Haitian security forces performing routine tasks; secondly, these two cases They all occurred in the context of the outbreak of social movements and large-scale anti-government protests that tried to force the resignation of Moiz, a close ally of the United States.
According to the analysis of the report, it is obvious that there are three key roles surrounding this assassination of the president: paramilitary organizations and criminal groups that have infiltrated and developed in the country for many years; the United States and its ubiquity in the Haitian political arena; and the hostile camp of the country’s ruling class , Some of them have long believed that Moise was a burning fuse, and now it’s time to replace them with someone who ensures their interests.
