US Offers $5 Million Reward for Capture of Haitian Gang Leader 'Barbecue'
By Ahmad El-Assasy The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs has announced a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Haitian gang leader Jimmy Cherizier, known as 'Barbecue.' The reward is issued under the Transnational Organized Crime Rewards Program (TOCRP) and applies to information leading to his capture in any country. Cherizier heads the violent gang coalition Viv Ansanm, which the U.S. designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) on May 2, 2025. Accused of Mass Atrocities in Haiti Cherizier has been identified as a central figure in Haiti's spiraling gang violence, accused of mass killings, sexual violence, and widespread terror against civilians. In December 2020, the U.S. sanctioned him and two Haitian officials under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act for their roles in the La Saline massacre and other severe human rights abuses. Criminal Charges in the United States The announcement follows the U.S. Department of Justice unsealing an indictment in the District of Columbia, charging Cherizier with conspiracy to violate U.S. sanctions under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The charges relate to his alleged evasion of sanctions imposed in 2020. His co-defendant, Brazile Richardson, appeared in federal court in Washington, D.C., earlier today. Part of Global Anti-Crime Efforts The TOCRP supports global law enforcement in dismantling transnational criminal networks and bringing fugitives to justice. U.S. authorities are urging anyone with credible information on Cherizier's whereabouts to come forward.

Reward For Information Leading To Arrest And/Or Conviction Of Uruguayan Narcotics Trafficker And Money Launderer
MAY 21, 2025 Today, the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs is announcing a reward offer under the Transnational Organized Crime Rewards Program (TOCRP) of up to $2 million for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction, in any country, of Uruguayan narcotics trafficker and money launderer Sebastian Marset. Concurrently, the Department of Justice announced today the unsealing of an indictment charging Marset with money laundering charges, stemming from the movement of drug proceeds through U.S. financial institutions. Marset is also a wanted fugitive throughout the Southern Cone of South America, charged with organized crime violations in Paraguay and Bolivia. In August 2023, Bolivian authorities announced a separate $100,000 reward offer for Marset's arrest. The TOCRP reward offer follows the largest and most consequential organized crime investigation (Operation A Ultranza Py) against cocaine trafficking in Paraguayan history. This investigation linked a criminal network led by Marset to more than 16 tons of cocaine seized in Europe, including an 11-ton seizure at the port of Antwerp in April 2021 and another 4.7-ton seizure of cocaine in Paraguay. The investigation was conducted in coordination with Paraguay's Special Investigative Unit and Anti-Drug Secretariat (SIU-SENAD), the Uruguayan Interior Ministry, Europol, and the DEA Asuncion Country Office. If you have information, please contact the DEA by email at MarsetTips@ If you are in the United States, you may also contact the local DEA office in your city. The United States is also soliciting anyone with direct knowledge of Marset's drug trafficking, money laundering, and acts of violence (actual or threatened) to contact the tipline. Today's reward offer is authorized by the Secretary under the TOCRP, which supports law enforcement efforts to disrupt transnational crime globally and bring fugitives to justice.
