Haitian American pastor Sanon slated to face trial in Miami
Christian Emmanuel Sanon, 67, who has pleaded not guilty, is due to stand trial in Miami on charges including conspiracy to kill or kidnap Haitian president Jovenel Moise in the July 7, 2021 attack. Sanon has been detained since his arrest days after the assassination; police found boxes of ammunition and 19 passports at his home, and he was transferred to the United States in early 2023. Prosecutors say the plot was largely organized and financed in South Florida and that Sanon helped recruit participants while hoping to become Haiti's president, a claim his lawyers deny.
