This week, more bad news from an already battered Haiti with the shocking assassination of President Jovenel Moïse at his home in Port-au-Prince. The country was already becoming the kidnapping capital of the region and was seeing unbridled violence between its police force and a number of powerful gangs. In the days since the murder, blame has been assigned to Colombian mercenaries, Haitian political elites and even his own bodyguards. InSight Crime has sought to clarify the various theories and the larger criminal consequences for Haiti.
