Widow, ex-prime minister, and former police chief indicted in Haiti's presidential assassination

A judge in Haiti has issued a final report resulting in the indictment of nearly 50 suspects, including former prime minister Martine Moise and Léon Charles, in connection to the assassination of President Jovenel Moise on July 7, 2021. The 122-page report, issued by Walther Wesser Voltaire, accuses both individuals of murder and attempted murder, as well as possession and illegal carrying of weapons for Mr. Charles. Martine Moise was shot dead in her Port-au-Prince bedroom during the incident. The arrests and trials of those charged are called for in the order. However, Martine Moise's daughter has criticized the indictments on social media, labeling them as unjust arrests and persecution. The indictments are expected to further destabilize Haiti as it grapples with a surge in gang violence.
