Former Haitian leader Jean-Claude 'Baby Doc' Duvalier has been questioned by police.
Duvalier, who ruled the country for 15 years before being ousted in 1986, made a surprise return to his homeland on Sunday.
The authorities are questioning him over allegations of stealing from the treasury during his rule.
There have been growing calls for Duvalier to be prosecuted for the alleged torture and murder of thousands of people during his rule in the 1970s and 80s.
Critics allege he also embezzled millions of dollars from the impoverished Caribbean nation.
He has denied the charge.
