A pedophile that is accused of over 100 cases of sexual abuse of young boys was arrested in Santiago yesterday. Juan A. Taveras Garcia fled the United States in 1989 after charges had been filed against him in the courts in New York. American agents had located Taveras in 2004 and issued an international arrest warrant for the man. The DNCD that also functions as an international police agency (Interpol), carried out the arrest on Saturday. His extradition had been requested. The National Drug Control unit (DNCD) is holding Taveras as the extraditions papers are being processed.
