"Salvadoran officer’s case to be updated" March 17, 2012
Lawyers in the case of a former Salvadoran military officer accused of colluding in the 1989 slayings of six Jesuit priests have agreed to update the judge in the case next month. Inocente Orlando Montano was arrested on federal immigration charges in Massachusetts last year. Prosecutors say Montano made false statements when he applied for a status that allows some foreigners to seek temporary protection in the United States if they are unable to safely return to their own country. Montano was among 20 Salvadorans indicted in Spain last year in connection with the slayings of the priests and two women during El Salvador’s 12-year civil war. He has denied involvement in the killings. A prosecutor said Friday that he would disclose government evidence to Montano’s lawyer within the next couple of weeks. Another hearing was scheduled for April 26 (AP)."
