Estrada Orella, 58, was arrested Wednesday in Miami on drug and weapons charges, accused of plotting to assassinate political rivals and let drug dealers use Guatemala’s ports and airports. The tribunal said its decision was due to “the notorious deeds that were revealed” in the case of Mario Amilcar Estrada Orellana. Estrada has not yet entered a plea and is due to be sent from Miami to New York for further proceedings in the case. “We will be respectful of the resolution from the Supreme Electoral Tribunal,” Avila said.
