A Haitian doctor with ties to Florida has been arrested and accused of being 'one of the leaders' behind the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse. Christian Emmanuel Sanon, 63, who was arrested in Haiti, recently entered Haiti on a private plane 'with the intention of taking the Haitian presidency,' the Haitian National Police said in a statement on Sunday. He 'is the first person the attackers called' after President Moïse was shot dead early on Wednesday at his Port-au-Prince home, according the National Police. Haitian authorities described the suspects as a unit of assassins made up of 26 Colombians and two Haitian Americans. Haitian President Jovenel Moïse and First Lady Martine are pictured together in 2017.
