The former general fled to British Columbia four years ago and is living in the Burquitlam area of Coquitlam
Lawyers for the former Mexican general who fled to B.C. four years ago will be allowed to present evidence that could cast doubt on the Mexican government’s extradition case.
Trauwitz’s lawyers asked to submit a three-page typewritten statement from March 2020 in which former Pemex worker Moises Angel Merlin Sibaja expressed concern that his version of events had been distorted and words were put in his mouth “with apparent political motives.” B.C. Supreme Court Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes gave the defence more time to correct deficiencies in its application. On Oct. 19, she deemed some, but not all, of Sibaja’s statement admissible to the extradition hearing.
“The 2023 statement covers most of the same ground as the 2020 statement, but also includes a notary’s certification, including of Mr. Sibaja’s identity as the maker of the statement,” Holmes wrote in her decision. “The notary’s certification in turn also provides information about the process by which the notary received Mr. Sibaja’s declaration. This contrasts with the 2020 statement in the version proposed for admission, which did not include similar details in the English translation.
