List of drug dealers who killed the president
In July, Haitian President Jovenel Moïse was shot dead in her home, and according to Moiz's wife, she lay on the ground pretending to be dead after being shot, before finding the gunman looking around the room for something.
By the time investigators arrived at the scene, Moiz's home had been looted and documents were scattered everywhere.
Since then, during interrogation, the killers have revealed that they are looking for a list containing the names of many drug dealers.
The Times reported that before Moiz's assassination, he had been working on a list of politicians and businessmen involved in the Haitian drug trade and was preparing to make the list available to the U.S. government. If this list is made public, it may bring the intertwined relations between Haitian politics, business and drug traffickers to the forefront.
It is understood that in the months leading up to Moiz's killing, he had begun to take steps to combat the Haitian drug trafficking trade, rectify the local customs department and destroy an airport dedicated to drug dealers.
According to Moiz's aides, some people on the list have been acquainted with Moiz for years and are suspected of drug trafficking and arms trafficking. After learning the list, they all felt betrayed.
Foreign media found that many of the people on the list were related to a mysterious person behind the scenes, that is, Michel Martelly, the former president of Haiti.
Martelli was originally a famous Haitian singer who won the presidential election in April 2011.
The Martelli family has always monopolized the eel trade in Haiti, and it is reported that Martelli has close ties with many drug dealers, using the eel trade channels to launder money. But moiz was just about to investigate further, when he was assassinated.

Manipulated by the former president to ascend to power, there is a premonition that he will be assassinated
According to foreign media, Moiz and Martelli have an extraordinary relationship. He was able to become president, which Martelli single-handedly supported, but after Moiz became president, the shadow of death hung over him.
In 2017, due to constitutional provisions, Martelli was no longer eligible for re-election, and he began looking for a successor. Martelli took a fancy to Moiz, branded him as a political star, and helped him ascend to the presidency.
But according to former Moiz administration officials, Martelli was suspected of billions of dollars in corruption while in office and was anxious to find someone to escort him.
Moiz's assistant said that in 2017, as soon as Moiz took office, he felt that Martelli's control was everywhere.
Moiz could not even choose his own cabinet without the approval of the Martelli family, and Briel Fortunay, an adviser to Moiz, revealed: "The real leader is not the president, but the president's godfather, Martelli".
Several Haitian officials said Moiz was gradually feeling that Martelli's control had threatened his own safety.
Eilar, the head of security at Moiz's mansion, was a core member of Martelli's former security forces and a drug dealer, and Moiz found himself under Ellal's surveillance.
In January, Erlar ordered a shipment of weapons from Turkey, making Moiz feel at risk of a coup.
At one point, Moiz said to his assistant with a hunch, "They're going to kill me." ”

In Haiti, every drug dealer has a police backer behind them
Haitian officials said that after anticipating the threat to his life, Moiz was determined to crack down on Haiti's drug and arms smuggling networks. As everyone knows, corruption has long been deeply rooted.
In Haiti, drug dealers, arms dealers and politicians are extremely close. Traffickers suspected of drug and arms trafficking have long served in the Haitian Parliament.
The Haitian police and the judiciary are also assisting drug smugglers. A Haitian police chief revealed: "Anyone involved in drug trafficking here has cooperated with at least one police officer." ”
Corruption has also permeated senior Leaders of the Haitian government, including even Moiz.
About a decade ago, Moiz had very close ties with some of those accused of drug trafficking, according to former Haitian officials.
Moiz came from a poor background and started his career as a farmer, and in 2000 he became a business partner with Evans Daniel, a close friend of former President Martelli, who was later accused of drug trafficking.
Moiz's cousin and Charles Saint-Rémy, who is on the drug dealer list, are also alleged to have done business together.
Moiz's critics also say that before he came to power, the Haitian government was investigating the large amounts of illegal money obtained by Moiz and his wife's company. But as soon as Moiz came to power, he fired the two heads of anti-corruption departments involved in the investigation.
To avoid making enemies, Moiz also often turns a blind eye to the corruption of his government.
Moiz's sudden death brought the Haitian government's fight against drug trafficking to an abrupt end. It is also reported that Martelli is now preparing to participate in haiti's next presidential election next year.
Also helping Moiz draft the list of drug dealers were four senior Haitian advisers and officials who said their lives were now under threat.
However, the investigation into the Moiz assassination has stalled, and if the case of Moiz's assassination is not resolved, it will continue to deepen judicial corruption in Haiti and further fuel Haiti's rampant crime.
