18名因2021年7月杀害海地总统若弗内尔·莫伊兹而被捕的嫌疑人于周日等待被引渡至美国，这标志着这起震惊这个动荡加勒比国家的谋杀案在海地漫长的司法程序宣告收尾。
美国南佛罗里达地区检察官雷丁·基尼奥内斯表示，这些嫌疑人将在佛罗里达州受审。
“今天标志着我们为若弗内尔·莫伊兹总统遇刺案寻求追责的下一重要阶段，”他在X平台上写道。“我们将追查所有线索，找到策划、协助、支持这起袭击或为其实施提供犯罪帮助的人。五年过去了，我们仍在将被告送上美国法庭，且我们不会停下脚步。”
基尼奥内斯并未指明嫌疑人身份，但目前仍在海地等待审判的嫌疑人包括十余名哥伦比亚士兵和一名前海地政府官员。
基尼奥内斯表示，已有30人因莫伊兹遇刺案被起诉，联邦调查局特别负责人布雷特·斯凯尔斯指出，周日美国国内外有多起逮捕行动。
他表示，联邦调查局及其他机构“将坚定不移地确保所有据称从刺杀国家元首中牟利的人都被彻底追责”。
此次引渡之际，美国仍在对该案的多名其他嫌疑人进行起诉和宣判。
今年5月，佛罗里达州的一个陪审团裁定4名男子谋杀罪名成立，另有至少5人已认罪并正在服终身监禁。
近期被定罪的包括阿尔坎赫尔·普雷特尔·奥尔蒂斯、安东尼奥·因特里亚科、瓦尔特·文特米利亚和詹姆斯·索拉赫斯，4人均曾辩称无罪。检察官指控这四人是刺杀海地总统阴谋的主谋之一。陪审团认定他们合谋杀害或绑架海地民选领导人，并为该阴谋提供物质支持。
前第一夫人玛蒂娜·莫伊兹在丈夫遇刺时受伤。她于3月在迈阿密联邦法院作证，动情且有时细节详尽地讲述了发生在夫妇俩佩蒂翁维尔住宅卧室里的袭击经过。
她还直接指控前海地总统米歇尔·马尔泰利和前总理阿里埃尔·亨利与丈夫遇刺案有关联。2024年，海地一名法官以共谋和刑事关联罪名起诉玛蒂娜·莫伊兹。她的律师称该项指控“荒谬且不公”。
18 suspects in killing of Haiti’s president being extradited to Florida for trial

Eighteen suspects who were arrested in the July 2021 killing of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse were awaiting extradition to the U.S. on Sunday, marking the end of a drawn-out judicial process in Haiti for a killing that shocked the troubled Caribbean country.
The suspects will face trial in Florida, according to U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Reding Quiñones.
“Today marks the next major phase in our pursuit of accountability for the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse,” he wrote on X. “We will follow the evidence wherever it leads, to those who financed it, facilitated it, supported it or committed crimes to make it possible. Five years later, we are still bringing defendants before American courts, and we are not finished.”
Quiñones did not identify the suspects, but those who remain in Haiti awaiting trial include more than a dozen Colombian soldiers and a former Haitian government official.

Quiñones said 30 people have been indicted in Moïse’s killing, with FBI Special Agent in Charge Brett Skiles noting that there were multiple arrests in the U.S. and abroad on Sunday.
He said that the FBI and others “remain steadfast in ensuring that all individuals who allegedly sought profit from the assassination of a head of state are held fully accountable.”
The extradition comes as the U.S. continues to prosecute and sentence multiple other suspects in the case.
In May, a jury in Florida convicted four men in the killing, and at least five others have pleaded guilty and are serving life sentences.
Those recently convicted include Arcángel Pretel Ortiz, Antonio Intriago, Walter Veintemilla and James Solages, all of whom pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors alleged the four men were among the masterminds behind the plot to kill the Haitian president. A jury found them guilty of conspiring to kill or kidnap Haiti’s elected leader and providing material support for the plot.
Martine Moïse, the former first lady, was wounded during her husband’s assassination. She testified in Miami federal court in March, giving emotional and at times graphic testimony about the attack inside the couple’s bedroom at their Petionville home.
She also directly accused former Haitian President Michel Martelly and former Prime Minister Ariel Henry of having connections to her husband’s killing. In 2024, a judge in Haiti indicted Martine Moïse on charges of complicity and criminal association. Her attorney described the charges as “ridiculous and unjust.”
