Investigative Judge Walther Wesser Voltaire, has sent his 122-page indictment, in the assassination of Haiti’s President Jovenel Moïse. He has charged Martine Moïse and nearly 50 others in the assassination conspiracy.
In addition to Martine Moïse, the judge indicted [former Prime Minister Claude] Joseph and ex-Police Chief Léon Charles. Both were in office when Moïse was gunned down inside his home in the middle of the night. They are among 10 former government officials or allies of the president who, according to Voltaire, had “an active participation” in the events leading up to his shocking death.
