A suspect in connection with the July assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moses was arrested in Istanbul, the Turkish press agency DHA reported on Tuesday.
Samir Handal, who was traveling with Haitian and Jordanian passports and a Palestinian travel document, was arrested on Monday upon his arrival from the United States at the Istanbul airport, and was incarcerated in Maltepe prison, east of the city, according to the news agency.

At the end of October, a former Colombian military man was arrested in Jamaica.
Three months after the assassination of the president, doubts remain about the instigators of this attack, which further plunged Haiti into uncertainty.
