Interpol, an international police organization, issues an international alert for a member of the Lev Tahor extremist Jewish group.
Jonathan Emmanuel Cardona Castillo, 23, is wanted by Guatemala for charges including human trafficking, rape and abuse of minors, Interpol says in a Red Notice.
Castillo is a citizen of Guatemala, where Lev Tahor is based, and El Salvador, and speaks Hebrew and Spanish, the notice says.
The Associated Press confirms Castillo is a leader of Lev Tahor, citing Guatemalan police and prosecutors.
