His lawyer, Ariel Atari, traveled to Brazil for a week-long visit to confer with Chen. Atari confirmed his client has retained a team of local attorneys to combat his extradition.

Chen initially said he turned himself in to the Brazilian police, and he hopes this curries favor with public opinion. However the police have presented a different version of the events, saying agents had tracked Chen down in a complex operation.

Israel has a mutual extradition pact with Brazil.

6:01 - What a stupid comment. "Atari" is an old Sephardi name.

This headline gives psychotics a bad name.
Chen victimizes others because he is Evil; uncaring and unempathic. Sociopathic perhaps, but no reason to believe that he is psychotic.

Extradition could take years. Is he held in jail? And who's paying his lawyer fees?

Though I am in no way at all justifying this creep's atrocities, it MAY be partially an education problem. Sometimes a person who certain areas lacking in his education, reads a compelling author who writes horrific trash, and buys into it believing that somehow it is good.

I have seen it in the past. A good, well-intended person read a book by an author who was in favor of horrific things like what Chen preached. Luckily, his friends gave him an "education" before he hurt somebody.

What he did and taught was awful, horrific, and certainly horrible. But it is not necessarily a sign of a bad person. It MAY be just a sign of someone who bought into a philosophy which, thank G-d, most of us would laugh at, thinking, "No one in their right mind would believe this." But, some people do believe stupid, horrible things.

So, though we must all agree that his actions, behavior and teachings were horrific, we MAY be able to look for a kav zchus for this fellow Jew.
