Haiti's president-elect Jovenel Moise questioned by judge
Haiti's president-elect Jovenel Moise questioned by judge
1 hour ago
An investigating judge in Haiti has spent four hours questioning the president-elect, Jovenel Moise, about fraud allegations.
Mr Moise - who is due to be sworn into office next month - says he went to the court voluntarily without a lawyer.
The former banana exporter denies accusations of money laundering and receiving favourable loans before he entered politics.
He says the allegations are a political smear by his opponents.
It's unclear if the judge will rule whether there is a case to answer before Mr Moise takes office on 7 February.
