“Accelerated movement in Yassine court cases”
By: YNN Staff
SNIPPET: “In other Yassine-related news, the memo from the DOJ also pointed out that 29-year-old Karin Faiq was recently arrested and deported by Honduran authorities after attempting to flee from his initial court appearance in March.
Fariq arrived in Florida on Friday, and will eventually be sent back to Texas to face his two drug-related charges in the Yassine scandal.”
