A Haitian doctor, with connections in Florida, was arrested, as authorities suspect him as one of the leaders of the assassination plot that killed President Jovenel Moise.

Identified as Christian Emmanuel Sanon, The Miami Herald reported that the doctor marks the third individual of Haitian descent to be arrested by the authorities in connection to the tragic incident that claimed the life of the Haiti president. It can be remembered that two other Haitians, identified as James Solages and Joseph Vincent, who were also from Florida, were also in Haiti police's custody, after turning themselves hours after the killing.

On a Saturday interview, Haiti National Police Chief Leon Charles mentioned Sanon without naming him. Charles noted that the suspects, including the two Haitian Americans, in the assassination of Haiti's chief executive, worked for a company that was based in the U.S. and Colombia. The suspects were reported to work with a high-profile doctor, in a Miami-based CTU security registered in the state of Florida as "Counter Terrorist Unit Federal Academy LLC."

"I would say that the Haitian [the doctor] recruited CTU and CTU recruited the Colombians. That's the pattern," Charles underscored.

Haiti Police Arrests Haitian Doctor Over President Moise Assassination

Sanon, the Haitian doctor arrested, was reported to live on and off Florida for more than two decades. Although Sanon identified himself as a doctor, The Miami Herald emphasized that there was no medical license for him listed in Florida. He was referred by the court records as a doctor who worked in Haiti and Dominican Republic.

Meanwhile, public records revealed that he had more than a dozen of businesses in the state that ranged from medical services, an energy company, and real estate. However, most of Sanon's businesses were inactive.

Moreover, Sanon was also reported to file for bankruptcy, where he was listed as a church pastor at the Tabarre Evangelical Tabernacle, a president of a non-government organization called Organization Rome Haiti, and a president of Radio-Tele Vasco.

His bankruptcy filing also revealed that he has an annual salary of up to $60,000 and debts amounting to more than $400,000. He also switched his address from Brandon to Hollywood, and then to Boynton Beach.

Haiti Suspects Reveal: Plan Was to Arrest President Jovenel Moise, Not to Kill Him

As the investigation for the assassination of President Jovenel Moise continued, Reuters reported, citing people who spoke to the suspects, that the two Haitian Americans said that their mission was not to kill the Haiti president but to serve a 2019 arrest warrant. The suspects alleged that the arrest warrant was from a Haitian investigative judge.

Furthermore, the two Haitian Americans also alleged that they were translators for the Colombian commando unit that had the arrest warrant. However, when they arrived at the scene, Solages and Vincent underscored that they found Moise dead.

It can be remembered that Haiti President Jovenel Moise was assassinated on Wednesday. Reuters mentioned a photo of an x-ray, that surfaced on social media, which was claimed to be Moise's autopsy, revealed that the president's body sustained multiple bullet holes, fractured skull, and other broken bones.
