How to read this registry.Every person is filed by the STANDARD OF PROOF that applies to them, and that standard is shown on each record. "Convicted" and "charged" are not the same thing; "named in testimony" is not an accusation. Nobody is placed at a tier without a document supporting it.

Two proceedings, two speeds

US federal proceedings Advanced

More than 40 people prosecuted; around a dozen convictions, five of them life sentences. Four men convicted in Miami on 8 May 2026.

Haitian proceedings Blocked

No hearing on the merits has tried the suspects held locally: judges rotated off the case, insecurity, and the difficulty of operating the courts in Port-au-Prince.

Presumed innocent — trial pending.

Christian Emmanuel Sanon

Charged
Haiti / United States
Presumed innocent — trial pending.

Florida-based pastor. Faces eight counts including conspiracy to kidnap or kill a person outside the United States. PLEADS NOT GUILTY.

Court : U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida — Case No. 22-cr-20104

AYITI INTEL assessment : Prosecutors contend he aspired to become president of Haiti and that contracts were envisaged for Florida-linked security firms had he taken power. This is the prosecution's case, not a finding.

The Haitian Times · reported fact

Joseph Félix Badio

Charged
Haiti
Presumed innocent — trial pending.

Former Haitian official. Among the 18 suspects transferred from Haiti to US federal custody in September 2026.

AYITI INTEL assessment : Frequently described in investigations and judicial accounts as a significant figure, but his criminal responsibility depends on adversarial proceedings and a judgment. He has not been convicted.
