Last month, federal officials allegedly deported one of the suspects in a massive 2022 jewelry heist in Southern California where thieves made off with $100 million in merchandise, in what prosecutors have called the largest jewelry heist in U.S. history.

Jeson Nelon Presilla Flores was sent to Ecuador on or about December 29, according to court documents obtained by The Los Angeles Times. He was believed to be linked to a raid on a Brinks truck that netted a fortune in stolen jewels, gold and watches.

    I think that’s where the voluntary part comes in. He wasn’t fighting it so they just shipped him off. If he’d fight it then it’s off to camp while we arrange your hearing (whenever we decide to get around to it).

      They’ve arrested people who are trying to leave the country, so I wouldn’t rely on that logic.
