Cocaine smuggler returned to B.C. despite being deported 10 years ago

Cocaine smuggler returned to B.C. despite being deported 10 years ago: "Mexican national charged last month with smuggling almost 100 kilos of cocaine into Kelowna had already been convicted in B.C. of a similar crime and deported almost a decade ago.
But Victor Perez Rodriguez, 43, managed to get a pardon and return to Canada under a new name until he fled the country after the cocaine was intercepted by police in late September.
Rodriguez, who earlier lived in Canada as Salvador Ascencio Chavez, now sits in a San Diego jail, where he is awaiting an extradition hearing on Dec. 16, 2010.
He was arrested Oct. 14, along with Surrey’s Tariq Mohammed Aslam, 32, in a car in San Clemente, Calif., en route to Mexico. Aslam is expected to be returned to Canada later this month."
