Jean-Claude Duvalier the 59 year old former Haitian dictator nicknamed "Baby Doc" Living a notoriously lavish lifestyle (January 20 2011)

Jean-Claude Duvalier the 59 year old former Haitian dictator nicknamed “Baby Doc” overthrown by a popular uprising 24 years ago returns on the 1st anniversary of the earthquake. Duvalier had made his fortune from drug trade and selling body parts from dead Haitians. Living a notoriously lavish lifestyle while hundreds of thousands of Haitians fled to exile, thousands were tortured or killed, leaving poverty among the remaining worst of any country in the Americas. Duvalier has now been arrested by Haitian police and charged initially with corruption, theft, and misappropriation of funds. Duvalier claims he did not return for the politics, but had returned for the reconstruction of Haiti, a thorn surely for the current president René Préval accused of a fix in the Nation’s recent elections.
