“Given the complexity of the case, the government wants all the defendants tried together,” Becerra told Sanon. “I am not inclined to try your case in September and all the other defendants in March [2026].”
In February 2024, Sanon was charged with the others with conspiring to kill Haiti’s leader, after first being accused of trying to carry out a military expedition against a foreign country. It was the fifth superseding indictment filed by prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and Justice Department. Since then, most of the team has been replaced with new prosecutors.
