Los Angeles— The son of Guatemala’s former customs director, who is accused of conspiring with his father to embezzle millions of dollars from that country’s government, is facing deportation following his arrest October 18 by ICE agents in Los Angeles.

Junior Vinicio Abadio-Carrillo, 32, was taken into custody in Glendale, Calif. on immigration violations. Abadio is wanted in Guatemala on embezzlement and money laundering charges for his role in a scheme that allegedly led to the theft of more than $5 million from that country’s government. ICE agents say Abadio apparently entered the United States illegally last year and has been living in Glendale since his arrival.

“This is another stellar example of how ICE is working with law enforcement agencies around the globe to deter serious crime,” said Loraine Brown, special agent-in-charge for ICE investigations in Los Angeles. “This arrest should send a strong signal to fugitives that we will not allow our international borders to be barriers to bringing criminals to justice.”
