Iran Press/ America: Following the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, the suspect reached out to his contacts at the DEA. A DEA official assigned to Haiti urged the suspect to surrender to local authorities and, along with a US State Department official, provided information to the Haitian government that assisted in the surrender and arrest of the suspect and one other individual," the DEA said, some media reported.
A source close to the investigation the two arrested said to investigators that they were interpreters for a Colombian commando unit, which reportedly had an arrest warrant for Moise. James Solages was also said to be a 'certified diplomatic agent' who worked for some time as a 'chief commander of bodyguards' in the Canadian embassy in Haiti.
