Cherizier, Monchery, Duplan, Sanctioned by the United States

The United States has sanctioned gang leader Jimmy “Barbecue” Cherizier and two former members of President Jovenel Moïse’s administration, Fednel Monchery and Joseph Pierre Richard Duplan, for orchestrating the 2018 La Saline massacre.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced the sanctions Thursday, which is International Human Rights Day, in a press release.
