Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
It was a brutal time for a brutal moment to get satisfaction but it was short lived. They fancied themselves an Empire too but the first emperor ruling with an iron fist got his own compatriots to put an end to him, Dessalines died as brutally as the French blood he demanded for his justice.

Jovenel Moise: Four suspects in Haiti leader's killing sent to US
The men are the latest to be charged over the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moise.
www.bbc.com
"Four men accused of having played a key role in the assassination in of Haitian President Jovenel Moise have been transferred to the United States, where they will face charges.
President Moise was shot dead at his home in the Haitian capital on 7 July 2021 by what police described as a hit squad of mainly foreign mercenaries.
Three of the suspects are dual US-Haitian citizens and one is Colombian.
They are due to appear in a federal court in Miami later on Wednesday.
The investigation being conducted into President Moise's assassination in Haiti has stalled, with investigators and judges receiving death threats. But as the plan to kill Mr Moise was allegedly hatched by Haitian-Americans in Florida, investigations are proceeding in the US.
The transfer of the four men from Haiti to Florida has brought the total number of suspects in US custody to seven.
Three of those moved to the US have been charged with conspiracy to murder President Moise. The fourth, Christian Sanon, was charged with smuggling bullet-proof vests to Haiti for use in the plot."

I think the official explanation is that Haitian justice system is in shambles. Unofficial explanation is that this was CIA/SD op and they are making sure they won't talk, either via cushy deal or a permanent solution.

Well, if what Robovski says is accurate and they planned the attack on American soil, they're guilty of serious crimes in America. If the Haitians aren't in a position to deal with them, why not throw them to the American legal system instead? I'd think it's perfectly reasonable and understandable for the US government to want to come down on any of their citizens going globe trotting to gun down foreign heads of state. Not a great look on the world stage, and a good way to get accused of staging it as a deniable operation. Best damage control they can do is to throw the book at the perpetrators themselves.

There's more to the story here.
If the US wanted to permanently solve the problem of their alleged assassins, it'd of been cleaner to deal with it in Haiti then bringing them back to the US Justice System. I mean they already assassinated a President, it's not like Assassins have traditionally had a long history of living fulfilling lives after successfully carrying out their acts.

I do NOT think the Biden administration was involved in the assassination.
The crime was commited in Haiti they should face Haitian justice.
Haiti apparently doesn't have the infrastructure or security capable of dealing with these assassins. Probably something similar to how Cartel leaders in Mexico are threatened with extradition to the United States, such as how El Chapo did his Bond Villain escape from a maximum security Mexican Prison after two years.... only to be captured again in the midst of another Bond Villain esque escape when his place was raided.
Ok there is a simple solution for this problem.

Yes, because summary "justice" for presumed crimes, in the form of killing, is a fantastic way to improve an appearance of corruption and build trust in an unliked government. They need a trial, because it should be a basic human right, and they need it for the image both domestically and internationally. They can't hold one though, because corruption is so bad the judge's don't feel safe, there's no chance at all of either the judge or jury remaining unthreatened by coercion or intimidation, and even just holding them before and during, they can't guarantee their safety or incarceration. Since they also committed crimes in the US and those problems don't apply there, and also it's a positive for the US to show that they'll punish their citizens who plan international terrorism, why not let them face US justices?
Because you will have shown that your government is so weak that it can't even hold it's own trials undermining it's legitimatacy even further

Yeah... But, if they are actually that weak, better to admit it than to try anyway and fail. Especially if it fails in such a way that the perpetrators walk away free in some way. Obviously it would be best if they could deal with it themselves, but since they can't extradition to the US for their crimes there isn't a terrible option.

That's how they used to do it in the Caribbean, albiet after a trial.
The moment they stopped, all those countries went third world haarrdd/

Sensing other countries will suffer similar fates soon.
A former Colombian soldier plead guilty to the assassination in US Court. He stated he was part of a squad of security contractors hired by a Florida based business called "CTU" for "security work" in Haiti.
An article from October detailing some of the (quite a number) of conspirators in the assassination. It includes a former Haitian Justice Official, a Haitian Senator, a Haitian-Chilean businessman and several Colombian mercenaries. Apparently one of the primary motivations was the plotters would benefit from contracts from the expected new administation.
