Did Drug Cartels Murder Haiti's President? | The War on Drugs

Подробнее о видео

This kind of violent assassination is usually associated with military coups and civil wars. But, new evidence has come to light that may indicate this was a drug hit, carried out to protect the interests of cartels with connections deep in the Haitian government itself.

This is the story of how Haiti’s president may have become another casualty of the War on Drugs.
