Ex-DEA informant handed life sentence for role in killing Haitian president

(Reuters) – Joseph Vincent, a former informant for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), was handed a life sentence by a U.S. court on Friday for his role in the 2021 assassination of Haiti’s president.

A Haitian-American national, Vincent admitted to providing aid to the plot to kill Haitian President Jovenel Moise in his home, including advice about the political landscape and meetings with key community leaders.

Vincent is among 11 defendants in the case, which includes Colombian ex-soldiers and businessmen accused of helping supply funds and weapons and carrying out the nighttime attack.

The gunmen had reportedly masqueraded as DEA agents at the time of the attack, though the DEA later said Vincent and another Haitian-American, James Solages, had not been acting on behalf of the agency.

Vincent is set to be held in a Florida prison, the court ruled.
