United States federal agents have arrested and charged four suspects in Florida for alleged roles in the plot that led to the 2021 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise.
One of the suspects is the owner of a Florida-based security company, which authorities say hired Colombian ex-soldiers for the mission.
President Moise was shot and killed at his home in Port-au-Prince, reportedly by Spanish-speaking foreign mercenaries.
Eleven suspects are now in US custody.
A representative of the security company, Colombian citizen Arcangel Pretel Ortiz, has also been arrested.
A third suspect, Florida-based financier Walter Veintemilla, is accused of financing the plot to kill Mr Moise.
The fourth suspect, Frederick Joseph Bergmann Jr., has been accused of smuggling ballistic vests as part of the plot.
