Florida Financier Tied to Moïse Assassination Plot Sentenced to 20 Years in US Prison
Harricharan used hundreds of thousands of dollars in pandemic loans to help finance the assassination and overthrow plot, prosecutors said.
- U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Becerra sentenced Coral Springs resident Keegan Harricharan to 20 years in federal prison last week for laundering fraudulent COVID-19 relief funds used to finance the conspiracy to assassinate Haitian President Jovenel Moïse.
- Harricharan and co-conspirators funneled approximately $255,000 in stolen Paycheck Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loans to "promote, plan, organize, direct, fund, and solicit funding and support for the overthrow" of Moïse.
- Prosecutors linked Harricharan to a broader network including Antonio Intriago, Walter Veintemilla, Arcangel Pretel Ortiz, and James Solages, who attended meetings discussing weapons and ammunition purchases for the plot.
- While U.S. authorities continue prosecuting individuals in the assassination plot, the investigation in Haiti remains stalled nearly five years later, with the Port-au-Prince Court of Appeal overturning the only local indictment.
- Federal prosecutors continue pursuing other defendants, with Jacob Israel awaiting sentencing in December and Christian Emmanuel Sanon, a central figure prosecutors describe as key to the conspiracy, scheduled to stand trial later this year.
