大卫·费舍尔(DAVID FISCHER)报道:在海地总统若弗内尔·莫伊兹遇刺五年后,这个饱受困扰的加勒比国家仍有数十名因涉嫌参与谋杀而被捕的人员在迈阿密等待审判。

DAVID FISCHER Five years after the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse , dozens of people arrested in connection with the killing in the troubled Caribbean nation are still awaiting trial in Miami.

自一队武装人员在深夜突袭中杀害莫伊兹并打伤其妻子以来,海地一直处于总统职位空缺的状态。美国检察官已对40多人提起与此次暗杀相关的指控,其中12人已被定罪,包括5名被判处终身监禁的被告。

Haiti has not had a president since a squad of gunman killed Moïse and wounded his wife in an overnight raid at their home. U.S. prosecutors have charged more than 40 people with crimes related to the assassination and a dozen have been convicted, included five who are serving life sentences .

克里斯蒂安·伊曼纽尔·萨农(Christian Emmanuel Sanon)是一位佛罗里达州的牧师,同时拥有海地和美国双重国籍。当局称他曾企图成为海地总统。他原定于周一接受审判,成为下一位面临陪审团裁决的被告。他面临八项与暗杀相关的指控,包括共谋在美国境外绑架或杀害他人,但他已表示不认罪。

Christian Emmanuel Sanon, a Florida pastor and dual Haitian-American citizen who authorities said aspired to be Haiti’s president, was set to stand trial Monday in the next case to go before a jury. He faces eight charges connected to the assassination, including conspiring to kidnap or kill a person outside the U.S., and has pleaded not guilty.

美国联邦检察官表示,南佛罗里达州是策划和资助推翻莫伊兹并由阴谋者选定的人选取而代之这一阴谋的核心地点。

Federal prosecutors in the U.S. say South Florida served as a central location for planning and financing the plot to oust Moïse and replace him with someone of the conspirators’ choosing.

海地是美洲最贫穷的国家,其独裁、政治动荡和外国干预的历史长期以来阻碍了民主统治的巩固。

Haiti is the poorest country in the Americas, and its history of dictatorship, political upheaval and foreign intervention has long stymied the consolidation of democratic rule.

2021年7月7日,约两打主要来自哥伦比亚的外国雇佣兵袭击了莫伊兹在太子港附近的住所,将其杀害。据法庭记录显示,杀害莫伊兹的计划包括利用从美国政府旨在帮助企业应对新冠疫情的项目中获得的资金来支付雇佣兵的费用。

Moïse was killed on July 7, 2021, when about two dozen foreign mercenaries, mostly from Colombia, attacked his home near Port-au-Prince. The scheme to kill Moïse included paying mercenaries with money obtained from U.S. government programs that were intended to help businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to court records.

2025年,在海地当地一家上诉法院下令对莫伊兹遇刺案进行新一轮调查后,海地司法官员向美国和加拿大寻求帮助。这是自莫伊兹在其私人住所身中12枪遇害以来,当地进行的第三次此类调查。他的妻子玛蒂娜(Martine)也在袭击中受伤。

In 2025, justice officials in Haiti asked the U.S. and Canada for help after a local court of appeals ordered a new investigation into Moïse’s killing, the third inquiry of its kind since he was shot 12 times at his private residence. His wife, Martine, also was wounded in the attack .

此前的调查陷入停滞,因为海地法官们因担心自身安全而不断从该案中辞职,且帮派武装夺取了太子港市中心法院的控制权,法官们正是在该法院对嫌疑人进行讯问。

The previous investigations were stalled because Haitian judges kept resigning from the case, fearing for their lives, and gangs seized control of the downtown Port-au-Prince courthouse where the judges were interrogating suspects.

海地司法与公共安全部近日表示,该国境内的任何司法程序“仍面临重大困难”。

Any proceedings in Haiti “continue to face significant difficulties,” the country’s Ministry of Justice and Public Security said recently.

海地已深陷帮派暴力泥潭:据联合国统计,截至今年六月,已有超过3000人丧生,近年来约有150万人被迫流离失所。

Haiti has been overwhelmed by gang violence: More than 3,000 people were killed this year by June and about 1.5 million people have been displaced in recent years, according to the United Nations.

根据起诉书,推翻穆瓦塞的计划于2021年4月真正成形,当时萨农在南佛罗里达与一名海地前参议员及数名美国商人会面。调查人员称,该团伙达成一致,一旦掌权,萨农将把基础设施项目、安全部队及军事装备的合同授予总部位于佛罗里达的反恐怖单位联邦学院和反恐单位安保公司,这两家公司合称为CTU。

The plan to oust Moïse began to truly take shape in April 2021, when Sanon met in South Florida with a former Haitian senator and several U.S. businessman, according to an indictment. The group agreed that, once in power, Sanon would award contracts to Florida-based Counter Terrorist Unit Federal Academy and Counter Terrorist Unit Security, collectively known as CTU, for infrastructure projects, security forces and military equipment, investigators said.

据检察官称,CTU最初聘请了约18名受过军事训练的哥伦比亚籍人员,为萨农提供安保。官员们表示,共谋者还花费数月时间获取武器和防弹衣,并试图与海地帮派建立关系。

CTU initially retained about 18 Colombian nationals with military training to provide security for Sanon, according to prosecutors. Conspirators also spent months obtaining weapons and body armor and attempting to build relationships with Haitian gangs, officials said.

到2021年6月,共谋者意识到萨农既不具备宪法规定的任职资格,也缺乏足够的民众支持以成为总统。随后,他们转而支持海地前最高法院法官旺代尔·科克·泰洛。她于2025年1月仍在逃期间死亡。

By June 2021, the conspirators realized Sanon had neither the constitutional qualifications nor sufficient popular support to become president. They then backed Wendelle Coq Thélot , a former Haitian Superior Court judge. She died in January 2025 while still a fugitive.

马蒂娜·穆瓦塞在今年早些时候出庭作证时,描述了遇袭经过。当时,四名男子正在接受审判,并最终因参与谋杀其丈夫的阴谋罪被判有罪。

Martine Moïse described the attack while testifying earlier this year at the trial of four men who were ultimately convicted in the conspiracy to kill her husband.

她表示,自己大约在晚上10点上床睡觉,约三小时后被枪声惊醒。她说,她转向身旁床上的丈夫,询问发生了什么事。

She said she went to bed around 10 p.m. and awoke to the sounds of gunfire about three hours later. She said she turned to her husband in bed next to her to ask what was going on.

根据妻子的证词,若韦内尔·穆瓦塞说:“亲爱的,我们要死了。”

“Honey, we are dead,” Jovenel Moïse said, according to his wife’s testimony.

玛蒂娜·莫伊兹说,当她爬下楼去查看两个成年子女的情况时,枪声仍在继续。她说,随后她回到自己和丈夫的卧室,她和若弗内尔·莫伊兹分别趴在床的两侧,利用床作为掩体躲避枪击。

Martine Moïse said gunfire continued as she crawled downstairs to check on her two adult children. She said she then returned to her and her husband’s bedroom, where she and Jovenel Moïse got on the floor on either side of the bed and used it as protection from gunfire.

玛蒂娜·莫伊兹说,男人们最终闯入房间,用听起来像是自动武器的枪支开火。她身中数弹。她说,她听到那些人说着西班牙语,随后有人向若弗内尔·莫伊兹连开数枪,将其杀害。

Men eventually burst into the room and opened fire with what sounded like an automatic weapon, Martine Moïse said. She was struck several times. She said she heard men speaking in Spanish before someone shot Jovenel Moïse multiple times, killing him.

玛蒂娜·莫伊兹说,袭击者离开后,她本以为会看到负责保卫住所的30到50名安保人员的尸体,但现场并没有。她说,后来她得知这些人是被收买后擅离职守的。

After the attackers cleared out, Martine Moïse said she expected to find the dead bodies of the 30 to 50 security officers assigned to protect the house, but there were none. She said she later learned that they were paid to leave their posts.

萨农原定于今年早些时候与其他四名被定罪的男子一起受审,但由于健康原因,他的案件被分拆并推迟。检察官表示,萨农曾协助为阴谋筹集资金,并为自己和其他人在岛上的行程和住宿做了安排。

Sanon was previously scheduled to be tried with the four other men who were convicted earlier this year, but his case was separated and delayed for health reasons. Prosecutors have said Sanon helped raise money for the conspiracy and arranged travel to Haiti and lodging for himself and others on the island.

最新被起诉的被告包括海地司法部前雇员约瑟夫·巴迪奥,以及其他17名被描述为哥伦比亚雇佣兵的人。他们最近已从海地被转移至美国。

The latest defendants charged include Joseph Badio, a former Haiti Ministry of Justice employee, and 17 others described as Colombian mercenaries. They were recently transported to the U.S. from Haiti.
