概要
- 距30项新美国起诉书公布后不久即开审
- 美籍海地裔牧师拒不认罪
- 海地总统若弗内尔·莫伊兹2021年遇刺
- 十年首次总统选举计划于12月举行
9月28日(路透社)——一名美籍海地裔牧师被美国检察官指控协助策划2021年海地总统若弗内尔·莫伊兹遇刺案,意图夺取该国领导权,他将于周一在迈阿密受审。
67岁的克里斯蒂安·伊曼纽尔·萨农对共谋杀害或绑架莫伊兹等指控拒不认罪,若罪名成立,他可能面临终身监禁。

萨农自遇刺案数日后被海地当局逮捕后一直被羁押。警方在搜查其住所时发现了多箱弹药、19本护照及其他物品。他于2023年初被引渡至美国。
这场在迈阿密美国地区法院进行的审判,是针对2021年7月7日莫伊兹遇刺案的大规模国际调查的最新进展。2021年7月7日,武装人员突袭莫伊兹在太子港附近的住所,他在卧室中遭枪击身亡。
预计出庭作证的证人包括莫伊兹的遗孀马蒂娜·莫伊兹,她在袭击中幸存。
萨农是包括前哥伦比亚士兵在内的数十名被控实施或策划刺杀案的人员之一,其中五人已被判处终身监禁。检察官称,该阴谋主要在南佛罗里达州策划和资助,萨农自2000年代起间歇性地在该地区居住。
据当地媒体报道,萨农出生于海地南部,在多米尼加共和国学医,之后移居佛罗里达州。他后来在网络视频中自称有望成为能为海地带来变革的领导人。
检察官指控萨农协助招募刺杀计划参与者,并希望在莫伊兹被赶下台后成为海地总统。他的律师承认他有从政抱负,但否认他知晓杀害莫伊兹的计划。
多名已定罪的被告指认萨农是主谋之一。他的律师预计将辩称,随着同谋将注意力转向其他接替莫伊兹的候选人,萨农逐渐被他们边缘化。
当局称,此次阴谋由多重政治和经济动机驱动,包括组建新政府以及获取利润丰厚的国家合同。调查人员和媒体报道还将此次刺杀与莫伊兹和据称与毒品和武器贩运有关的权势人物之间的紧张关系联系起来。
自莫伊兹遇刺以来,海地一直没有民选总统。此次刺杀使海地进一步陷入政治动荡,并加剧了安全危机,武装团伙得以在该国大部分地区扩大控制范围。
美国检察官最初对萨农提出的指控涉及涉嫌向海地走私防弹背心,后来扩大了指控范围。
萨农原本预计是迈阿密此案的最后一名被告。但在8月,美国当局对30名更多嫌疑人提起诉讼,并将18名从海地羁押的被告引渡至美国。
海地正筹备12月举行十年来首次总统选举,但莫伊兹遇刺五年多以来,猖獗的帮派暴力和长期腐败令人们对此次可信选举的前景产生了质疑。

Summary
Trial starts shortly after 30 new US indictments
US-Haitian doctor and pastor pleaded not guilty
Haiti’s President Jovenel Moise assassinated in 2021
First election in 10 years planned for December
Sept 28 (Reuters) – A Haitian American pastor accused by US prosecutors of helping orchestrate the 2021 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise so he could take over the Caribbean nation’s leadership is due to stand trial in Miami on Monday.
Christian Emmanuel Sanon, 67, has pleaded not guilty to charges including conspiracy to kill or kidnap Moise and could face life in prison if convicted.

Sanon has been detained since Haitian authorities arrested him days after the assassination. Police found boxes of ammunition, 19 passports and other items in a search of his home. He was transferred to the US in early 2023.
The trial in US District Court in Miami is the latest chapter in a sprawling international investigation into the July 7, 2021, killing of Moise, who was shot dead in his bedroom after armed men stormed his home near Port-au-Prince.
Among the witnesses expected to testify is Moise’s widow, Martine Moise, who survived the attack.
Sanon is among dozens of people, including former Colombian soldiers, accused of carrying out and orchestrating the assassination, five of whom have already received life sentences. Prosecutors say the plot was largely organized and financed in South Florida, where Sanon lived intermittently starting in the 2000s.
Born in southern Haiti, Sanon studied medicine in the Dominican Republic before moving to Florida, according to local media outlets. He later appeared in online videos promoting himself as a potential leader who could bring change to Haiti.
Prosecutors allege Sanon helped recruit participants in the plot and hoped to become Haiti’s president after Moise was removed from power. His lawyers acknowledge he had presidential ambitions but deny he was aware of the plan to kill Moise.
Several convicted defendants have pointed to Sanon as one of the ringleaders. His lawyers are expected to argue that his co-conspirators increasingly sidelined him as they turned their attention to other candidates to succeed Moise.
Authorities have said the conspiracy was driven by multiple political and financial motives, including a bid to install a new government and secure lucrative state contracts. Investigators and media reports have also linked the assassination to tensions between Moise and powerful figures allegedly connected to drug and arms trafficking.
Haiti has not had an elected president since Moise. The assassination plunged Haiti deeper into political turmoil and accelerated a security crisis that has allowed armed gangs to expand their control across much of the country.
US prosecutors initially charged Sanon with offenses related to the alleged smuggling of bulletproof vests to Haiti and later expanded the charges.
Sanon was originally expected to be the last defendant in the Miami case. But in August, US authorities charged 30 more suspects and brought 18 defendants from Haitian custody to the US.
Haiti is preparing for its first presidential election in a decade in December, but rampant gang violence and chronic corruption more than five years after Moise’s assassination have cast doubts on the prospects of a credible vote.
