Solages and other suspects drove in a convoy to the president’s home on the night of July 7, the assassination date. Once inside the residence, Solages declared they were involved in a “DEA Operation” to ensure “compliance from” Moïse’s security team, the affidavit stated. Some of the ex-Colombian soldiers recruited for the mission were assigned to find and kill the president.
Suspect knew about assassination plan: FBI
On July 22, federal agents questioned Solages while he was in Haitian custody. After he was read his Miranda rights, Solages admitted that by mid-June 2021, “he knew that the plan was to ultimately assassinate President Moïse,” according to the FBI affidavit.
