The police were able to identify 28 participants in the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise, but the number may increase. Among those identified are 26 Colombians and two US citizens of Haitian descent.

According to the head of the local police Leon Charles, 17 people have been detained to date, eight continue to hide. Moreover, the detained Americans said that the task of murdering Moiz was not set, but the purpose was the arrest "on the warrant of the investigating judge." The AR clarifies that one of the detained US citizens may be a former bodyguard of the Canadian Embassy in Port-au-Presnya.

The heads of the presidential security service are suspected of inaction in the assassination attempt. They have been summoned for questioning. The media write that 12 bullets hit the president, and his bodyguards were not injured.

Later, Taiwan Embassy stated that 11 suspects in the murder of Moise detained on its territory, reports "Interfax". The diplomatic mission agreed to the searches "without hesitation." Let us remind you that Haiti recognizes Taiwan as an independent state and maintains diplomatic relations with it.
