Haitian 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.

But, I'm sure the USDEA doesn't really want that.
