Eighteen suspects extradited to US over Haitian president’s 2021 killing
A long-running investigation into the assassination of President Jovenel Moise produced a fresh wave of extraditions and arrests.
TL;DR
- Eighteen suspects were extradited to the United States over the 2021 killing of Haiti's president, Al Jazeera reported.
- The Guardian reported that more than a dozen people were arrested in connection with the assassination.
- The two reports describe the same case from different stages of the process, and the collection does not include charges or court dates.

Why it matters
The Moise killing destabilized Haitian politics and became a test of cross-border prosecution. A large extradition to the United States signals the case is still moving through the legal system years later.

Both items are headline-level wire reports; the collection does not include the identities of those extradited, the charges, or the jurisdictions involved beyond the US.
