Anger as suspect in $100M jewelry heist avoids trial – because ICE deported him
www.independent.co.uk
An attorney representing some of the jewelry companies impacted in the heist said Jeson Nelon Presilla Flores’s deportation ‘exposes a gap in the system that deserves transparency’

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.

    Idk it could be more looney tunes if he does it again. It would be dumb as fuck and he seems smart but still.

    Also, legally still innocent. If I were in the position of a falsely accused version of him, you bet your ass I’m doing the exact same thing. Prison slavery or cecot for a crime I didn’t commit or take the out that’s presented.
