Episode Details

Retired Colombian Army captain Mike Rivera, a key witness in the Miami federal trial over the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse, revealed explosive details about the operation. Rivera, who pleaded guilty and is now serving life, testified that FBI informant Arcángel Pretel Ortiz led the team, giving them archangel codenames. Pretel recruited Rivera and others through his Doral-based firm, promising high-paying security jobs in Haiti. Initially, the plan was to protect projects and fix the country, but it shifted to assassinating Moïse, who was portrayed as a corrupt dictator. Rivera felt brainwashed and was given military ranks, becoming a lieutenant colonel under Pretel. In week six of the trial, Rivera detailed failed schemes and weapon shortages. The four defendants face charges of conspiracy to kill, and the trial continues to unfold.
