Ivory Coast police to start questioning Gbagbo next week

Ivory Coast police and gendarmes will next week begin interrogating deposed president Laurent Gbagbo and his wife Simone over alleged crimes by his regime, the justice minister told AFP yesterday.
Gbagbo and his wife have been placed under house arrest in separate towns in the north of the country after the strongman was arrested on April 11 by forces loyal to new President Alassane Ouattara.
"The police and the gendarmes will begin hearing Laurent Gbagbo and his wife next week from May 4. We have notified the (former) president Laurent Gbagbo," said Jeannot Kouadio Ahoussou.
