Guerra was arrested thanks to an anonymous tip

TORONTO - All it took was a quick phone tip from the public and the hiding was over for fugitive Lorenzo Salvador Cid Guerra who now faces deportation to his native Mexico.

Guerra, 35, was arrested at a Driftwood Ave. home around noon on Monday by Toronto Police officers on a warrant for being inadmissable to Canada due to alleged links to organized crime.

“He was arrested without incident,” Const. Tony Vella said on Tuesday. “He was turned over to the border services.”

Guerra is slated for an appearance before the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) this week as officials try to deport him to Mexico City.

He is one of 37 fugitives and war criminals included in a “Wanted by the CBSA” list posted on the agency’s website. The list was created after prodding by Sun Media last year.

No legal aid for man accused of war crimes

Jorge Vinicio Orantes Sosa

CALGARY – The Alberta Court of Appeal has denied legal aid to a man who has been ordered extradited to the United States to face immigration charges.

Jorge Vinicio Orantes Sosa (hore-HAY’ Vin-EE’-see-OH’ ORR’-ent-EHS’ SOH’-sah) is also wanted by Guatemalan authorities for alleged war crimes.

Sosa wanted a legal-aid lawyer to help him appeal the extradition order.

But the Appeal Court says there is no evidence to justify a publicly funded lawyer.

The court points out Sosa’s notice of appeal came after a 30-day deadline, but the justices ruled he can apply for an extension.

Sosa is accused of lying to immigration officials about his past when he applied for U.S. citizenship.

He is also a Canadian citizen and remains in custody in Calgary while he appeals his extradition.

Guatemalan authorities allege he participated in a massacre of 251 men, women and children in a village in the Central American country in 1982.

Sosa, who denies the allegations, was arrested last year in Lethbridge, Alta.
