Haiti Still Seeking Judge to Investigate President's Assassination
Voice of America
PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI - Haiti's justice system is still struggling to find a judge willing to investigate the assassination of President Jovenel Moise, a full month after he died.
"It is a sensitive, political dossier. Before agreeing to investigate it, a judge thinks about his own safety and that of his family," one judge told AFP. "For this reason, investigating magistrates are not too enthusiastic about accepting it," this judge told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity out of safety concerns. Several magistrates have told the dean of the Court of First Instance in Port-au-Prince that they are not interested in working on the shocking July 7 assassination of Moise at the presidential residence by a commando team, this judge said. Moise's wife, Martine, was wounded but survived.More Related News
