A US federal judge in Miami has sentenced a Haitian-Chilean businessman to life in prison for his role in helping Colombian mercenaries get weapons to assassinate Haitian president Jovenel Moise in 2021.
Rodolphe Jaar, 51, is the first person to be convicted and sentenced in what US prosecutors have described as a broad plot by conspirators in Haiti and Florida to reap lucrative contracts under a new administration once Moise was out of the way.
