MIAMI — A Miami federal jury has reached a verdict Friday in the assassination trial connected to the killing of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse.
The trial started on March 8 inside the Wilkie D. Ferguson Federal Courthouse — and after more than two months of testimony, jurors found all four defendants guilty on most counts.
Prosecutors say the men helped plan and support the operation that led to Moïse’s assassination inside his home near Port-au-Prince on July 7, 2021.
Antonio Intriago, the owner of a South Florida security company, was found guilty on nearly all counts against him, including conspiracy charges connected to the plot.
But jurors found him not guilty on count seven of the indictment, a charge of conspiracy to kill or kidnap a person outside the United States.
The other defendants — including Arcangel Pretel Ortiz, Walter Veintemilla, and James Solages — were also found guilty on multiple counts.
Several members of South Florida’s Haitian American community also packed the courthouse throughout the trial and many said they’re thrilled the jury reached a verdict after years of waiting for answers.
