Yoel Alter, a prominent leader of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish cult, Lev Tahor, was arrested in Guatemala following an operation led by Interpol. The arrest comes amid allegations of child abuse and human trafficking, which have been tied to the controversial group.
Interpol operation leads to arrest in Guatemala
The 35-year-old Alter was apprehended in Guatemala after a request for his extradition was made by Mexico, where he faces human trafficking charges. He appeared in a Guatemalan court, where he was subsequently detained, and will likely be extradited to Mexico for trial.
Lev Tahor cult’s dark allegations
Founded in Israel in 1988, Lev Tahor has been under scrutiny for a range of serious crimes, including child abuse, human trafficking, and forced marriages of minors. The cult has been operating in Mexico and Guatemala since 2014. In December 2024, police in Guatemala raided the cult’s compound in the Santa Rosa region, rescuing 160 children and 40 women from alleged abuse by cult members.
