Haiti: Arrest warrant issued against the widow of Ex-President Mose

HAITI

A Haitian judge investigating the July 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse issued an arrest warrant for his wife late last year for failing to meet with him so he could interrogate her about the case, according to a legal document leaked late on Monday.

The warrant is dated Oct. 25 and signed by Judge Walther Voltaire, who is overseeing an ongoing investigation into the killing that occurred at Moïse’s private residence, where authorities say a group of heavily armed men shot him a dozen times and injured his wife, Martine Moïse.

The one-page warrant contains little detail except to say that authorities are seeking to interview Martine Moïse about the case.

It does not state nor suggest any involvement.

Martine Moïse could not be immediately reached for comment, and a spokesperson for an attorney of hers based in Florida said he was trying to reach her.

Messages sent to people close to her went unanswered.
