Drug trafficking and corruption probe launched into former president of Haiti [View all]
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/centralamericaandthecaribbean/haiti/9110226/Drug-trafficking-and-corruption-probe-launched-into-former-president-of-Haiti.htmlHaitian authorities launched an investigation on Monday against former president Jean Bertrand Aristide for alleged drug trafficking and corruption, a lawyer close to the ex-president said.
Aristide also faces charges of bribery and malfeasance, attorney Newton Saint-Juste said.
The Aristide Foundation for Democracy and former officials from his administration, including the ex-head of the National Police, are also named in the case, Saint-Juste said.
Haitian Justice Minister Michel Brunache had no immediate comment on the case.
