An alleged member of the group involved in the assassination last year of the President of Haiti, Jovenel Moïse, has been detained while transiting Panama after his release by a court in Jamaica. Palacios entered Jamaica illegally and was detained in prison after his arrest in October, while the courts considered an extradition request from Haiti. Panamanian authorities have not issued public comments on the matter, but a person familiar with the matter in Panama confirmed that Palacios had been detained. Palacios’ arrest in Panama marks the latest twist in the saga of the Moise murder investigation, which remains largely shrouded in mystery. In an interview while he was still in hiding, he insisted that he did not know who killed Moïse.
