US man in Haiti case faces trafficking charge
The man who served as legal adviser to 10 American missionaries jailed in Haiti on charges of child kidnapping acknowledged on Monday that he is the suspect wanted in El Salvador on human smuggling accusations.
In a call from an unknown location, Jorge Puello told reporters he was innocent of the accusations and that he and his Salvadoran wife had taken in young women from the Caribbean and Central America who had been abandoned by smugglers.
