Inocente Montano Indicted in Massachusetts

Inocente Orlando Montano, a former Salvadoran general, was indicted by a court in Massachusetts on Wednesday on two counts of perjury and two counts of making false immigration statements. Montano was going to plead guilty to immigration charges last year but backed out of his plea bargain at the last minute. He s suspected of having played a role in the murders of the Jesuits at the UCA in November 1989. Unlikely, but he could serve up to 40 years if convicted.

And, according to Contrapunto, the Salvadoran Supreme Court of Justice will schedule a hearing to learn the position of thirteen other soldiers implicated in the Jesuit massacre before it decides whether or not to extradite them to Spain.
