On Wednesday September 7, 2023, Me Walter Wesser Voltaire, the 5th judge appointed to investigate the case of the assassination of Jovenel Moïse questioned for the first time some of the 18 Colombian suspects arrested more than two years ago and accused of being part of a mercenary commando that assassinated the President of Haiti.

The former Colombian military members of the commando always refused to speak when questioned by one of the 4 judges previously assigned to the case who all resigned for various reasons...

The first two suspects (Naiser Franco Castañeda and Jhon Jairo Alegria Suarez) were transported Monday and Tuesday from Haiti's main penitentiary in downtown Port-au-Prince to a government office near Pétion-Ville, where they were subjected to interrogations by judge Walther Wesser Voltaire.

The interrogations took place behind closed doors and no information has filtered on what the Colombians said because of the secrecy of the instruction, the investigation being still in progress, according to their lawyer, Me Natalie Délisca
