Florida jury convicts 4 men who plotted assassination of Haiti's president from South Florida hub

Arcangel Pretel Ortiz, Antonio Intriago, Walter Veintemilla and James Solages were found guilty of conspiracy to kill or kidnap Haiti's elected leader, providing material support and violating the U.S. Neutrality Act. The men now face potential life sentences.

The conspirators aimed to oust Moïse and install a new leader, dual Haitian-American citizen Christian Sanon, hoping to profit financially through the new regime.

During the trial, which kicked off in March, Moïse's widow, Martine, delivered harrowing testimony about the night roughly two dozen foreign mercenaries, mostly Colombians, stormed their home near Port-au-Prince.

Speaking through a Creole interpreter, she recalled her husband's chilling final words as gunfire erupted: "Honey, we are dead."

In Haiti, 20 people, including 17 Colombian soldiers, are facing charges.
