Haiti PM sacks prosecutor who accused him of links to president's murderHaiti's Prime Minister Ariel Henry (C), seen here attending the funeral of slain President Jovenel Moïse on July 23, 2021, in Cap-Haitien, Haiti, fired a prosecutor who accused him of links to the killingPORT-AU-PRINCE - The investigation into the assassination of Haitian president Jovenel Moise descended into confusion Tuesday, as the Caribbean island's prime minister sacked a prosecutor who had accused him of links to the killing. Henry's move came hours after Claude asked the judge investigating Moise's murder to charge the prime minister with involvement in the case. Henry was named by Moise as prime minister days before the president's murder. A prime minister legally cannot be questioned unless the president authorizes it, but in the wake of Moise's slaying, Haiti does not have a president. Some in government circles had also called in recent days for the prime minister to resign over the allegations.
