Jewel-heist suspect self-departs, stunning prosecutors and derailing US case

Federal immigration authorities allowed Jeson Nelon Presilla Flores, a suspect in a $100 million jewelry heist that prosecutors say could be the largest in U.S. history, to deport himself to South America in December, stunning prosecutors who planned to bring him to trial. Flores, one of seven charged in 2022, faced up to 15 years if convicted. He pleaded not guilty, and ICE deported him after he requested voluntary departure, amid questions about an immigration detainer and whether the case should be dismissed. Prosecutors oppose dismissal but seek it without prejudice, keeping the door open to future prosecution. Victims and Brink’s say the case leaves them without closure as the criminal proceedings are disrupted by the immigration process, in a scenario described as highly unusual for such a major case.

Deported Suspect Halts U.S.'s Largest Jewelry Heist Trial

A man among seven charged in the 2022 Brinks jewelry heist—valued at about $100 million—is deported to Ecuador after being in ICE custody, effectively stalling the federal case. Prosecutors say Flores chose voluntary departure to avoid prosecution, while his defense argues the government facilitated his removal; prosecutors may refile if he returns to the U.S., and the judge has not yet ruled on dismissal. Victims lament the lack of closure as the case remains unresolved.
