Assassination of Jovenel Moïse: The CSPJ criticizes the government's decision to transfer 18 indicted individuals to the United States

The Superior Council of the Judiciary (CSPJ) has expressed astonishment at the government's decision to transfer 18 individuals indicted and detained in connection with the second-degree investigation into the assassination of Jovenel Moïse to the United States. In a statement released on September 22, 2026, the CSPJ claims that this measure, taken outside procedural norms, undermines the independence of the judiciary. In conclusion, the regulatory body of the judicial system also reminds that any transfer of an indicted person in a case assigned to an investigating judge must receive prior authorization from that judge, even in the event of an extradition request.<\/p>
