Former official may have ordered Moise’s killing: Colombia police

An investigation so far reveals that former Haitian official Joseph Felix Badio may have given the order to kill Moise.

Former Haitian justice ministry official Joseph Felix Badio could have ordered the assassination of Haiti’s President Jovenel Moise, Colombia’s police chief, General Jorge Vargas, said on Friday. Moise was shot dead when assassins armed with assault rifles stormed his private residence in the hills above Port-au-Prince on July 7. An investigation by Haitian and Colombian authorities, alongside Interpol, into Moise’s killing has revealed that Badio appeared to have given an order for the assassination three days before the attack, Vargas said in an audio message sent to news outlets by the police.
