Christian Emmanuel Sanon, a Haitian doctor living in Florida, is reportedly planning to become president of the Caribbean, National Police Director Leon Charles said in a statement to the press.

Speaking late Sunday, Charles said he believed the doctor had played a key role in Moss’ death, adding that the shooting inside the official residence had led to a month-long political crisis and created a power vacuum in the country.

According to the official, Sanon contacted a private security company to hire people to “do this.” The company is CDU, a US-based Venezuelan company.

The doctor reportedly landed in Haiti in June on a private plane with “political motives” and his safety was guaranteed with Colombian mercenaries. Later, “the task changed” and one of the Colombians reportedly issued an arrest warrant against the Haitian president:

“The primary purpose given to the perpetrators was to protect a man named Emmanuel Sanon, but that changed,” Charles said, adding that the man’s goal was to become president, the New York Times reported.

Sources said the police officer was a doctor who was one of the Colombian suspects who was contacted after his detention. During a search of his home, the DEA found a box of ammunition, two vehicles, six pistol holders, about 20 boxes of ammunition and four Dominican Republic license plates, officials said.

According to witness accounts and footage around the presidential residence, the men who allegedly killed Moses entered the house claiming to be part of a DEA operation. However, the company says it has nothing to do with what happened.

Haitian police also said Sunday that they had taken “precautionary measures” against those responsible for Moisin’s security, amid suspicions that some of them were complicit in the killings. Investigators analyze the information to determine the “level of involvement of each”.

The next step, Charles said, was to find out who funded the move. Opposition politicians have challenged the police version of the crime, claiming that Colombia’s relatives went to Haiti to serve as security guards for the wealthy. According to one version, Moise would have safely hired Colombians.

This Sunday, the Pentagon said it would send a team of FBI and Homeland Security agents to investigate. On Saturday, Washington rejected a request by the Haitian interim government to send troops to help secure key facilities in the country’s infrastructure.

They reportedly met the other group at a hotel in Bettenville, a suburb of Port-au-Prince.

Both said the purpose was not to kill the president but to take him to the presidential palace. However, it is not clear what the ultimate goal will be.
