Port-Au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) -- Though he faces charges of financial wrongdoing and possibly human rights abuses, former Haitian dictator Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier has no plans to leave his homeland, one of his lawyers said Wednesday.
Attorney Reynold Georges told CNN that Duvalier would fight any charges against him and could very well get back into politics.
"You can bet your life on it," Georges said, referring to Duvalier's intention to remain in Haiti. He adding that Duvalier is looking to refurbish one of his old homes
