Florida-based U.S. financier Walter Veintemilla is accused of funding the operation. A fourth suspect, Frederick Joseph Bergmann Jr., is accused of smuggling goods. Tama Kudman, Veintemilla's attorney, told The Associated Press that he would plead not guilty to both charges. A person holds a photo of late Haitian President Jovenel Moïse during his memorial ceremony in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on July 20, 2021.Authorities have said that the original plan was to detain Moïse, force him onto a plane and whisk him to an unidentified location, but that plot crumbled when suspects couldn't find a plane or sufficient weapons, according to court documents.
