(Reuters) - Haitian authorities will question former dictator Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier to determine whether he should be prosecuted for stealing from the treasury during his rule, a senior government official said on Tuesday.
"He will be questioned and he will remain at the disposal of the judicial system," the official, who asked not to be named, told Reuters.

PORT-AU-PRINCE -- Heavily armed Haitian police officers, a judge and a chief prosecutor arrived at the hotel in Port-au-Prince, where former dictator Jean-Claude "Baby Doc'' Duvalier remained holed up Tuesday, as rumors of his arrest boiled.
Judge Gabriel Ambroise would not say if he had an arrest warrant, as officers continued to flood the hotel about 10:15 a.m.
Haitian police officers said they were asked to secure the Karibe hotel, but did not confirm if there was an arrest warrant for Duvalier.
About 10:40 a.m., Haitian attorney Reynold Georges arrived at the hotel, and said Gervais Charles is expected to represent Duvalier.
