SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — U.S. officials say four key suspects in the killing of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse have been transferred to the United States for prosecution as the case stagnates in Haiti amid death threats that have spooked local judges. The U.S. Justice Department said Tuesday that the suspects include James Solages and Joseph Vincent. They were among the first arrested after Moïse was shot 12 times at his private home in July 2021. Also charged is Christian Emmanuel Sanon. He is a failed businessman that authorities have identified as a key player. The fourth suspect was identified as Colombian citizen Germán Rivera García. It wasn’t immediately clear if they had attorneys who could comment on the development.
