The United Nations and U.S. on Friday announced fresh sanctions on a former Haitian palace security chief and the leader of a downtown Port-au-Prince gang, as the U.N. Security Council voted unanimously to renew its sanctions regime.
The sanctions target Bel Air gang leader Kempes Sanon and Dimitri Herard, who headed palace security at the time of President Jovenel Moise's 2021 assassination and escaped prison during a mass jailbreak last year.
