John Joel Joseph, a former senator from Haiti who is being charged in the US with involvement in the 2021 murder, used Prevot as his vehicle.
The US deported Joseph, a political foe of the assassinated president, from Jamaica to the US in May of last year to face charges related to plotting to murder or kidnap someone outside of the US. He may get a life sentence.
Joseph was one of the leaders in the assassination conspiracy, at least one individual said in a report from Haiti’s National Police. According to the informant, Joseph met with the other suspects and paid cash for the rental automobiles they utilized before the murder.
Prevot is one of more than 40 persons who have been arrested in connection with the murder of the president.
