Switzerland To Return Funds Duvalier Stole To Haiti

Jean- Claude Duvalier

The Swiss government has moved to return stolen money stashed in their nation's banking system, by former Haitian President, Jean-Claude Duvalier. The $7,100,000 shall be returned tot he people of Haiti on a humanitarian basis, under a recently enacted Swiss law that goes into effect today.

This move is aided by the Haitian government's correct decision to arrest Duvalier on corruption charges and crimes against humanity, which occurred during his 15-year reign (1971-1986). That $6,000,000 could feed many people in Haiti, which suffered a deadly earthquake a year ago. The cost of food is steadily rising in the world, therefore every little bit helps. I look forward to seeing Haiti get back on its feet.
