18 suspects accused of involvement in the 2021 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse were extradited to Florida to face federal charges (Credit: Fox News)The level of government incompetence, or flat-out corruption, under the Biden regime is off the charts!It has now been confirmed in federal court records that the 2021 assassination plot against Haitian President Jovenel Moïse was directly bankrolled using stolen American taxpayer money funneled through fraudulent pandemic relief programs!According to federal indictments and official Department of Justice filings, South Florida operatives exploiters of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) schemes funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars meant for struggling small businesses straight into buying weapons, tactical gear, and mercenary squads to overthrow a foreign government.On July 7, 2021, mercenaries, mostly former Colombian soldiers, with Haitian-American facilitators, stormed Moïse’s private residence outside Port-au-Prince. They posed as DEA agents. The president was shot to death in his bedroom. First Lady Martine Moïse was wounded. Their children were in the house. Haiti has been a gang-run catastrophe ever since.The Gateway Pundit reported at the time that Florida-based Haitian-American doctor Christian Emmanuel Sanon was arrested and identified by Haitian police as one of the men the plotters intended to install in power. Sanon still faces trial in the United States.Here is what federal prosecutors and a Miami jury have now established.Starting in June 2020, while American small businesses were begging for payroll help, Coral Springs fundraiser Keegan Harricharan and co-conspirator Jacob Israel fraudulently obtained about $840,827 in Paycheck Protection Program loans under the CARES Act. Israel and his associates took roughly $126,124 in kickbacks, according to the DOJ.In April and May 2021, Harricharan sat down in South Florida with members of the assassination conspiracy to talk regime change, weapons, ammunition, and manpower.Then the stolen pandemic money started moving:Between May 18 and May 28, 2021, about $175,000 in PPP fraud proceeds and other funds hit Harricharan’s TNR Holding Group account and were sent to Broward mortgage man Walter Veintemilla for redistribution to the plotters.On June 9–10, 2021, Harricharan wired another $80,000, including Economic Injury Disaster Loan proceeds, to Veintemilla.Veintemilla, through Worldwide Capital Lending Group, extended a $175,000 line of credit to the Doral security outfit Counter Terrorist Unit, run by Antonio Intriago and Arcangel Pretel Ortiz, supposedly to back Sanon’s “security” operation in Haiti. That pipeline paid travel and support for the Colombian mercenaries.The Justice Department says Veintemilla financed the conspiracy with proceeds derived from other people’s CARES Act PPP and EIDL funds.An FBI forensic accountant later told the Miami jury the whole operation was a bargain-basement coup: roughly $343,000 from loans, credit cards, wires, and pandemic relief.About $30,000 in SBA-backed pandemic benefits went directly into funding pieces of the plot. Other money in the same network was dirty COVID cash.U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones put it bluntly after Harricharan’s sentencing:“This defendant did not simply commit fraud. He exploited pandemic relief programs meant to keep small businesses alive during a national crisis and laundered those stolen taxpayer funds to help advance a conspiracy that ended in the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise.”After the May convictions, Quiñones told Fox News the plot “was planned, financed, conspired, here in Miami,” and that the government is “holding people accountable if they use government funds in a fraud to facilitate that murder.”Charges. Convictions. Prison.May 8, 2026: A Miami federal jury convicted Arcangel Pretel Ortiz, Antonio Intriago, Walter Veintemilla, and James Solages on charges including conspiracy to provide material support resulting in death, conspiracy to kill or kidnap a person outside the United States, and leading a military expedition against a friendly nation. They face up to life. The Gateway Pundit reported those verdicts when they came in.July 23, 2026: Judge Jacqueline Becerra sentenced Harricharan to 20 years for money-laundering conspiracy tied to the COVID funds. Jacob Israel has already pleaded guilty and is set for sentencing.Earlier, Haitian-Chilean businessman Rodolphe Jaar took a life sentence after admitting he helped finance the attack and bribe presidential security. Tampa businessman Frederick Bergmann got nine years for shipping ballistic vests for the Colombians.This week: 18 more defendants off the plane in Miami, including figures Haitian authorities have long called central to the hit. Charges in the broader case include conspiracy to kill or kidnap abroad and wire fraud.The 18 new arrivals face American courts because the conspiracy was hatched on American soil with American bank accounts. Four ringleaders are already convicted. The financier who washed the COVID cash is looking at two decades. More sentencings are on the calendar.Haiti’s own case has gone nowhere in five years. The United States, at least, is putting names on indictments and years on sentences.The post American Taxpayers Funded 2021 Haitian President Assassination Through Fraudulent COVID PPP Loans appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
