Rodolphe Jaar, 49, was sentenced to life in federal prison by U.S. District Judge Jose E. Martinez for his participation in the events leading to the July 7, 2021, assassination of President Jovenel Mo'i'se of Haiti, after pleading guilty on March 24. From at least February to July 2021, South Florida served as a central location for planning and financing the plot to oust President Morse from power and replace him with someone who would serve the coconspirators' political goals and financial interests. Jaar helped secure weapons and provided other support.
