"His fate is now in the hands of the investigating judge. We have brought charges against him". It is now to the judge to decide to continue or not the case at the judicial level and possibly inculpate the former president.

Jean-Claude Duvalier left the prosecutor's office to return to his hotel, but must remain in the country at the disposition of judicial authorities according to investigating judge Carves Jean. "He doesn't have the right to go anywhere"
