PORT-AU-PRINCE – Haiti’s Prime Minister Ariel Henry was banned from leaving the country amid an investigation into his alleged involvement in the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse.
A prosecutor is seeking charges against Henry, who was asked to explain his links with a key suspect in the killing, Joseph Felix Badio.
Records showed the two men had multiple phone calls just hours after the assassination, prosecutors say.
Moïse was killed on July 7.
On Monday, Henry sent a letter purportedly sacking Chief Prosecutor Bed-Ford Claude and accusing him of a “serious administrative offense”.
However, on Tuesday, Claude appeared to remain in his post as he asked a judge investigating the murder of Moïse to charge the prime minister over his “suspected” involvement in the case.(BBC)
