A key suspect connected to the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse was arrested in Jamaica earlier this month, multiple sources confirmed to the Miami Herald Thursday.
Authorities identified the man as former Colombian military officer Mario Antonio Palacios.
“The Jamaica Constabulary Force can confirm that an individual alleging to be a Colombian national has been arrested in Jamaica on immigration breaches,” a source in Jamaica said. “He has subsequently become the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice as of today, October 21, 2021. We are working with our international partners in line with our established treaties and protocols.”
President Jovenel Moise, who took office in 2017, was shot and killed in his private home in July and his wife was wounded in the attack.
