On 10 January 2022, an investigative report published by ''[[The New York Times]]'' stated that Henry had links with Joseph-Félix Badio, an alleged mastermind of Moïse's assassination, and that the two stayed in close contact even after the assassination. Two Haitian officials told the newspaper that Badio entered Henry's residence twice without being impeded by the guards, despite being wanted. Another of the prime suspects, Rodolphe Jaar, while admitting to having financed and planned the assassination, stated that Badio had described Henry as someone he could count on as an ally and could control after overthrowing Moïse. Jaar claimed that Badio had sought Henry's help in escaping, to which he agreed.<ref name="knowingbaido" />

On 8 February, a recording of judge Garry Orélien, who previously oversaw the investigation of the assassination, was obtained by [[CNN]] in which Orélien accused Henry of being among those who planned the assassination of Moïse.
