Material Witness: Federal Complaint

Deportation Dept: The newspaper reported Wednesday that Jaziri is the 43-year-old former imam of a Montreal congregation who unsuccessfully fought his deportation three years ago, fearing he would be tortured in Tunisia, according to CTV. He said he agreed to pay $5,000 to be smuggled to the United States and said Jaziri is a material witness in a case against two men charged with immigrant smuggling earlier this month. A federal complaint says Jaziri told authorities he flew from Tunisia to Chetumal, Mexico, near the Belize border, then took a bus to Tijuana. As reported in the news.
