Al Jazeera reports 18 suspects extradited and an impending Florida federal trial; The Guardian reports only that more than a dozen people were arrested in connection with the assassination.
The big question
Can the Florida federal case substantiate the allegation that the plot to kill Moïse was orchestrated from US soil?
No. The reporting says the men are accused of orchestration but provides no charging documents, evidence, or court findings.
What happens next
- Florida federal court scheduling, charging documents, and rulings involving the 18 extradited suspects.
- Any public identification of the 18 suspects and clarification of the alleged US-based role in the July 2021 killing of Jovenel Moïse.
