Colombian government is already seeking to repatriate the bodies of those implicated in the Haitian assassination

The Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs ruled on the night of this Saturday, July 10 on the situation of the 26 former Colombian soldiers accused of having assassinated the President of Haiti, Jovenel Moïse, on July 7 at his residence in the capital of the country of ‘Central America. . As reported by the entity in a series of posts posted via its official Twitter account, he is already working on the repatriation of the bodies of the two people involved who have died.

It should therefore be recalled that the fatal victims, among those presumed to be responsible for the assassination, are Duberney Capador Giraldo, Retired First Deputy Sergeant 40 years old and 1.70 meters high; and professional soldier (r) Javier Mauricio Medina Romero, who was 45 years old. Needless to say, the sister of the first, Jenny Capador, showed up in the last two days to attest to her innocence and ask for help to speed up her repatriation.

“From the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs – Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we coordinate with the Haitian authorities, consular assistance to Colombian detainees for the unfortunate events in which President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated, ”reported the entity headed by the country’s vice-president, Marta Lucía Ramírez, in a first trill.

Following, the ministry approves the national government’s commitment to democracy and the defense of human rights and expressed its solidarity with the families of the victims of events described as confusing and “which must be clarified for the sake of Haitian democracy”. Likewise, they reported that:

“We reiterate our willingness to help clarify the facts and locate those responsible for this atrocity. We are working with the Haitian authorities to advance the repatriation of the bodies of our nationals, who have the right to a dignified burial in their country ”.

To do this, and to respond to requests for assistance from the rest of the former soldiers currently captured on suspicion of assassination, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will seek, through the Directorate of Consular Affairs, to rely on the Embassy of Colombia in the Dominican Republic and the country’s honorary consul in Haiti.

In the same vein, the ambassador to the Dominican Republic, Daniel Cabrales Castillo, had pronounced this morning precisely, which, through the same social network, underlined that “Nationals who have been involved in these events, regardless of their seriousness, will receive required consular assistance.” The official also asked the Haitian authorities for speed to clarify what happened.

It is worth mentioning that in the last few hours the hypothesis that the 26 Colombians were tricked into going to the island country has emerged. It is thanks to the testimony of relatives, other ex-soldiers who rejected the offer. and a series of facts and inconsistencies which, at the very least, raise doubts about the whole picture.

The most important of them has to do with confirmation of the movements of President Moïse’s security chief, Dimitri Hérardd, in Ecuador, with a stopover in Bogotá, days before those involved today began their own flights to Haiti.

The presidential security officer reportedly took Avianca flight number 0209 and later, He took another course in Quito, where he stayed for a few days, before returning on May 29 on flight number 0208. from the same airline to the Dominican Republic. For this, he will have to respond to the authorities on July 13 and 14.

As an aggravating factor, we know that a study by the Center for Economic and Policy Research ensures that the president Moses did not trust his security chief, because he knew the United States had its eyes on him, for his alleged connection with the arms trade. In addition, according to this think tank, American officials had traveled to Port-au-Prince to gather information that would implicate Hérard in the lucrative trade.
