After questioning him for hours, police escort former dictator Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier from his hotel. Haitian authorities are questioning Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier, Haitian former exiled president, to determine whether he should be prosecuted for alleged abuses and theft from the treasury during his rule.
A senior government official said on Tuesday that Duvalier will be "questioned and he will remain at the disposal of the judicial system".
Returning to his homeland after 25 years in the political wilderness, Duvalier did not explain the reason for his return on Sunday, simply saying: "I've come to help".
Al Jazeeara's Sebastian Walker, reporting from Port-Au-Prince, said that Duvalier was escorted out of the hotel where he has been staying, surrounded by police.
Duvalier, said Walker, was not handcuffed and that he has not been arrested, but that he's been taken away for questioning to an unknown location.
Walker said that senior police officials refused to answer questions and there was much chaos and activity on the scene.
There's some speculation about the deposed president being issued with a warrant for "crimes" committed during his rule. Full Story
