Drug charges ‘betrayed’ Toronto Hispanics

Leaders of Toronto’s Hispanic community said they feel betrayed by a man arrested on drug smuggling charges, for whom they raised money for prosthetic arms.

The Rev. Hernan Astudillo, manager of an AM multicultural radio station, told the Toronto Sun the community had raised $37,000 so Jose Prado-Carmona, 31, could function.

Prado-Carmona lost his hands and lower arms after grabbing live wires in his native Columbia. Patrizia Giolti of the Canada Border Services Agency said that on Feb. 13 Prado-Carmona was arrested at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport returning on a flight from Columbia.”*
