Among the accused also stand out the former interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph, the former Secretary General of the Council of Ministers Renald Lubérice, the former Minister of the Interior Ardouin Zéphirin, Moise’s former security chief Dimitri Hérard and his former security coordinator Jean Laguel Civil, as published by the newspaper ‘Gazzete Haiti’.
The judge in the case, Walter Wesser Voltaire, has ordered the arrest and imprisonment of all of them; It should be noted that there is no opponent of the former president among the accused.

Martine Moise was in the couple’s private residence with her two children when a group of armed men broke into the home and shot the then Haitian president. The woman survived and she was flown to the United States for treatment.
Martine Moise, little given to speaking out or giving signs of life, launched a publication on her social networks on December 7, when 29 months had passed since her husband’s death, in which she asserted that “the murderers (…) feel that “Their reign of impunity and untouchability appears to be coming to an end.”

Since Moise’s assassination, the power vacuum aggravated the country’s turbulent political and economic situation in a security crisis, with murders and kidnappings on a daily basis.
