“#Security contractor says plan was to arrest Haitian president: report<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

A Miami-based security contractor suspected of training a group of mercenaries in the assassination plot of Haitian President Jovenel Mo\u00efse claimed he was working with a former local judge to help arrest the leader \u2014 and not kill him.<\/p>\n

Antonio Intriago, a Venezuelan who owns CTU Security in Doral, said the mercenaries went to Mo\u00efse\u2019s home to accompany police executing an arrest warrant for the president, the Wall Street Journal reported,<\/a> citing a statement by the businessman\u2019s lawyers.<\/p>\n

The three attorneys said the president was already dead when the Colombians arrived, according to the news<\/a> outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our belief that the president\u2019s own bodyguards betrayed him,\u201d the lawyers wrote without elaborating in the statement, which included an arrest warrant for Mo\u00efse, private correspondence, contracts and a \u201cMemorandum of Understanding\u201d to replace him with an obscure preacher, the Journal said.<\/p>\n

Officials have said\u00a0at least 26 suspects\u00a0have been detained as part of the probe, including 18 former Colombian soldiers and three Haitian police officers. Two Americans of Haitian descent also allegedly took part in the assassination. \u00a0<\/p>\n

At least seven high-ranking police officials have been placed in isolation, but not formally arrested, Haitian police have said.<\/p>\n

Intriago\u2019s lawyers said the initial mission for the gunmen was to provide security for solar-power stations and other projects in the town of Jacmel, according to the report.<\/p>\n

Their statement said Intriago was app<\/a>roached by Dr. Christian Sanon, a physician and little known preacher who had informed Intriago that he planned to lead a provisional government.<\/p>\n

The lawyers didn\u2019t say how the provisional government was supposed to be formed.<\/p>\n

Sanon, who has lived in Haiti and South Florida for 25 years and is currently under arrest in the Caribbean country, wasn\u2019t available for comment, the Journal said.<\/p>\n

Intriago believed the Colombians were unarmed and still awaiting for gun permits from Haitian authorities when there was a change of plans for the mission to now accompany police in arresting Mo\u00efse, according to the statement cited by the paper.<\/p>\n

The team was \u201cbeing requested to accompany a judge who would go along with Haitian police while the warrant was served upon President Mo\u00efse,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

A copy of the warrant, signed by Judge Jean Roger Noelcius for the crime of murder, was provided to Intriago at his request, it said. No additional information was provided about the alleged crime.<\/p>\n

The Journal said it could not reach Noelcius for comment.<\/p>\n

The statement also said that Windelle Coq-Thelot, a former Supreme Court judge and magistrate, wanted Intriago\u2019s help in executing the arrest warrant.<\/p>\n

The judge was fired earlier in the year along with two other justices after the president claimed he had foiled a coup attempt, but she had presented herself in her letter as an active judge and argued that Mo\u00efse had overstayed his five-year term.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hereby expressly request that your company, that its members assist our Constitutional authorities, especially myself and in general<\/a> the Haitian people in order to protect democracy,\u201d she wrote in the letter to Intriago.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ratify, in my capacity as a Magistrate, in my capacity as a lifetime official and that I represent the people, and protected by the actions of a Judge and a Prosecutor, by the merit given to us by the Constitution, the Law and Reason that we give and will give immunity, protection and security to their actions in our favor,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Last month, an arrest warrant was issued for Coq-Thelot, who said Sunday in an unverified Twitter account purporting to belong to her: \u201cI firmly denounce the political persecutions of which I am subjected to at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Intriago\u2019s lawyers said the US government knew about his business plan, the Journal reported.<\/p>\n

After Sanon approached him with a proposal to provide security for the solar project, Intriago had a business associate \u201ccall individuals at the US government to get assurances that the business dealings were legitimate,\u201d the attorneys wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhenever Mr. Intriago questioned the legality of providing security services for Dr. Sanon or anyone else in Haiti, [the business associate] called his FBI contacts and Mr. Intriago became confident that the United States government knew exactly what was taking place in Haiti,\u201d they reportedly wrote.<\/p>\n

The FBI didn\u2019t immediately respond to the paper\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

A State Department spokeswoman has previously said that reports that former soldiers were acting on behalf of the US were false.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
