Xinhua News agency quoted Columbian Authorities about the alleged involvement of a former Haitian Official in the assassination plot of the Haitian President Jovenel Moise.

"Joseph Feliz Badio, who was an official of the Ministry of Justice and worked in the anti-corruption unit with the General Intelligence Service, tells Duberney Capador (former Colombian military officer) and German Rivera (ex-agent of the Colombian army) that what they have to do is to assassinate the president of Haiti," General Jorge Luis Vargas, director of the Colombian Police, said at a press conference. 

Vargas said Badio had informed Capador and Rivera "apparently three days before" the operation that the order was not to arrest Moise but to kill him.

On Thursday, Colombia's President Ivan Duque said former members of the Colombian military who participated in the killing will have to be tried by the Haitian judicial system.
