Haiti prosecutors seek to interview PM over Jovenel Moise killing

Prime Minister Ariel Henry asked to explain why he spoke with one of the main suspects just hours after the assassination of the president in July.

Haiti’s chief public prosecutor invited Prime Minister Ariel Henry on Friday to meet with him next week to explain why he spoke with one of the main suspects in the assassination of former President Jovenel Moise on the night of the crime. A letter sent by prosecutor Bed-Ford Claude to Henry said only a president could authorise official summons to someone of his rank, but the country was without one. Instead, he was being “invited” to attend and cooperate. The hearing at the Court of First Instance of Port-au-Prince would take place at 10 am on Tuesday, it said.
