Haiti assassination: Multiple suspects arrested over killing of president 'were US informants'

Some of the suspects arrested in the assassination of Haiti’s president Jovenel Moïse worked as informants for the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), according to reports.
“One of the suspects in the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse was a confidential source to the DEA,” a DEA official was quoted as saying by the Reuters.
Last week, two Haitian-American men, Joseph Vincent, 55, and James Solages, 35, were arrested in connection with the assassination of the president.
The DEA did not specify who was the informant, but said the person was not an “active informant” at the time of the killing.
