U.S. attorney Markenzy Lapointe and other law enforcement officials are expected to announce new arrests connected to the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise.

According to the Miami Herald, four suspects in South Florida have been taken into custody on charges of playing key roles in a plot to kill Moise. Three of those arrested are charged with supporting a conspiracy to kidnap or kill Moise. The probe is now reportedly focused on the weapons, ballistic vests and financing that authorities have said fueled the plot that led to Moise's death in July 2021.

The arrests come after four other suspects were transferred to the U.S. last month, adding to the other three already in custody and have been charged in connection to the assassination.

Moise was assassinated on July 7, 2021 in his home in Port-au-Prince.
