The plot thickens by the day as a Haitian-born doctor who lived in Florida for more than two decades was arrested Sunday with suspicions of being the ring leader in the assassination of Haiti's President Jovenel Moïse last Wednesday, Haiti's police chief said Sunday, according to Miami Herald. 

On Sunday, National police chief Leon Charles announced Christian Emmanuel Sanon,63, was arrested for allegedly recruiting the mercenaries as their mission would be to protect him. 

Sanon landed in Haiti on a private jet in early June with "political objectives," Charles said. The team Sanon hired was recruited through South Florida firm CTU Security.

"He arrived by private plane in June with political objectives and contacted a private security firm to recruit the people who committed this act," the police chief told reporters, noting that the firm was a U.S.-based security company.
