An Argentinian fugitive was flown out of Belize this evening. Alberto Samid was given an order to leave by the Immigration department and he was handed over to Argentinean law enforcement who came for him.
Alberto Samid is wanted in Argentina on charges of tax evasion, corruption and abuse of labour laws.
He was arrested in San Pedro on the strength of an Interpol warrant. Police told us more:..
Insp. Wilfredo Ferufino - CIB
"All that we know at this point is that Interpol has sent a red flag in regards to this gentleman and he was detained on Saturday by San Pedro police. He is being held and it is an immigration matter from this point."
Samid's family fought fiercely to keep him in Belize - and claim they even got a court order. They complained that police were not allowing him to consult with his attorney. According to Aregentinian press reports, quote, "He also stands accused of issuing cheques without funds, of using the Central Market logo for private business ventures and for an unpaid 500,000 peso debt and taxes on a commercial rental property."
