A federal grand jury has indicted one of Haiti’s most powerful gang leaders and a U.S. citizen accused of conspiring with him to violate U.S. sanctions and fund gang activities in the troubled Caribbean country, the U.S. Justice Department announced Tuesday.
Jimmy Chérizier, best known as “Barbecue,” is a leader of a gang federation called Viv Ansanm that the U.S. designated as a foreign terrorist organization in May.
