Ex Columbian military officer Mario Antonio Palacios Palacios, who have been hiding since the assassination of the Haitian president, ended up in Jamaica.

Palacios was arrested by Jamaican authorities about a month ago but, according to the Miami Herald, the arrest was kept secret.

It is believed that Mario Antonio Palacios may have been the one who went into the bedroom of President Jovenel Moise and he might have been the one who pulled the trigger executing the president.

If this is the case, Palacios may be able to release some names as to who ordered the hit.

A source in Jamaica confirm to the Miami Herald that the person detained was indeed Mario Palacios Palacios, accused as being one of the main executors of the plot to assassinate president Jovenel Moise.

The source told the Herald that Palacios was "the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice as of today, October 21, 2021."

Depending on the established treaties and protocols," Palacios could be extradited back to Haiti to face charges.
