According to Haiti’s National Police Chief Leon Charles, five top officials of the country’s National Police have been arrested in conjunction with President Jovenel Mose’s assassination last week.

Dimitri Hérard, the chief of Mose’s security detail, is among those held. The five policemen have not been charged, according to Charles, but Hérard has been questioned, the Wall Street Journal reported.

He also said that more than 20 members of Mose’s security detail are being questioned. On the night of the murder, some of them were on duty at the president’s residence, but Charles wouldn’t say how many.

“Our colleagues from the FBI and the Colombian delegation were able to ask some questions to some of the bad guys that we got, who we know completed the assassination,” the Wall Street Journal quoted Charles as saying.

According to Haitian officials, more than 20 former Colombian troops were involved in the July 7 assassination, leading Colombian President Ivan Duque’s government to send a small team to Haiti to provide evidence obtained in Colombia to Haitian investigators.

In a Friday interview in Bogotá, Colombian Defense Minister Diego Molano stated that Haitian investigators are attempting to identify “those who were in that final act.”

Molano stated that the Colombian government thinks that former Colombian military were involved in the attack on the president’s residence and, in the case of two of them, were involved in the plotting of his assassination. He did say, though, that they might not have been the only ones.

According to Haitian officials, the killing was orchestrated by a group of Miami-based businessmen and security experts.

Despite the fact that Hérard has not been named as working with those guys, Colombian authorities have claimed they are looking into why he travelled to Colombia four times between January and May.

Molano stated that Colombia collaborated with Haitian authorities, who are leading the investigation into Mose’s death. According to a Haitian investigator, the president was shot 12 times and had an eye gouged out by the assassins. Martine Mose, his wife, was injured in the attack and is being treated at a Miami hospital.

“We hope that the investigations determine if Haitian policemen were among those who participated,” Molano was quoted by the Wall Street Journal.

Mose’s funeral is set to be held on July 23 in the northern port city of Cap- Hatien, according to officials in Haiti’s caretaker government.
