A Former Colombian soldier, Mario Antonio Palacios, 43, has been arrested in Miami, US as a suspect in the murder of Haitian President Jovenel Moise
Palacios, a former member of the Colombian military, is accused by Haitian authorities of being part of a mercenary group that tortured and killed Moïse and wounded his wife, Martine, during an attack on Moïse’s private home in July.
Palacios also known as ‘Floro’ – was arrested in Miami on Tuesday, January 4, after being detained and deported by authorities in Jamaica, law enforcement officials say.
He was held in Jamaica since October, but was deported to Colombia earlier this week due to what officials say was an immigration violation.
However, during a stopover of a flight in Panama, the suspected mercenary was again arrested, and asked to ‘voluntarily’ board a flight to the US, a source said.
