A man wanted by Haiti over his alleged involvement in the assassination of President Jovenel Moise has been freed from a Turkish repatriation centre and returned to the United States, one of his lawyers said on Saturday.
His lawyers said the red notice was later suspended at their request pending a final review and a Turkish court rejected Haiti's extradition request for Handal on July 4, ruling he should be released.Lawyer Mahmut Barlas told Reuters that Handal was released on Aug. 3 and arrived in the United States the following day.
Handal has said he only rented a house to Emmanuel Sanon, a suspected mastermind of the assassination, and did not know of any plans to kill Moise. Handal's lawyers had said he should not be extradited because he would be subject to hard labour in Haiti. They also emphasised the political uncertainty in the country.Reporting by Ali Kucukgocmen; Writing by Daren Butler; Editing by Mark Heinrich
