MS-13 Member Shipped Out Under Tight Security
posted (February 23, 2012)
There was heightened security this afternoon at the PGIA, after the GSU transported a member of the infamous Central American gang MS-13, from the Belize Prison, to execute a deportation order.

26 year old Elmer Antonio Cadiz Galdamez, a Salvadoran national who resided on New Road in Belize City, and worked as a taxi driver, was deported back to his native El Salvador this afternoon, where he is wanted for questioning there by both Interpol and the FBI.

Cadiz was detained by Police in November of last year along with two other reputed members of the MS-13 gang, after they were busted at a home directly in front of the Racoon Street Police Headquarters, for the "Possession of Controlled Drugs".

Further checks on Cadiz revealed that he was in violation of an expulsion order that was issued way back on December 6th, 2007.

On September 17th of last year, Cadiz was deported from the USA to El Salvador where it's suspected he slipped back into Belize afterwards.

That he then ended up living directly in front of the second largest police station in the country is the incredible thing.

The Salvadoran based MS-13 is one of the largest, most feared gangs in the world.
