Pierre Espérance, executive director of the National Network for the Defense of Human Rights (RNDDH), has made new revelations concerning the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse. According to him, the Ministry of Finance would have transferred approximately 3,499,500 US dollars to the account of the private security firm “Matador”, including Dimitri Hérard, the former coordinator of the General Security Unit of the National Palace (USGPN), would be one of those responsible.
This transfer would have taken place approximately two months before the assassination of the president, on April 27, 2021. These funds were supposed to be intended to strengthen presidential security, according to information collected by the human rights activist.
Pierre Espérance claims that this money was released on the orders of the former secretary general of the National Palace, Lyonel Valbrun, who would have sent a correspondence to the Minister of Economy and Finance, Michel Patrick Boisvert, five days earlier, on 22 April 2021, asking him to transfer these funds to the account of Dimitri Hérard’s private security company, which would be hosted at SOGEBANK.
The executive director of RNDDH also reveals that significant sums were released by the Treasury before the assassination of Jovenel Moïse. His organization has published at least two reports on the circumstances of the crime, one of which concludes that the president was handed over by the very people responsible for his security.
Furthermore, Pierre Espérance was questioned for approximately three hours by investigating judge Walter Wesser Voltaire as part of the investigation into the assassination of Jovenel Moïse. After his hearing, during an interview on Vision 2000 radio, the human rights activist denounced the refusal of Martine Moïse, the president’s widow, to answer the investigating judge’s questions, affirming that Haitian justice should force to collaborate.
Pierre Espérance expressed his wish that all light be shed on this heinous crime. Although he recognizes that Jovenel Moïse caused a lot of harm to the country, he says he did not wish for his death, recalling that the president was the head of state of Haiti, and not his friend.
