Peruvian national sentenced for threatening Spanish speakers with deportation

A Peruvian national who threatened Spanish-speaking U.S. residents with arrest, deportation, and other legal consequences has been sentenced, the Department of Justice announced.

Henry Adrian Milla Campuzano, 37, and his co-conspirators operated the Latinos en Accion and Accion Latino call centers in Lima, Peru, where they called Spanish-speaking people across the United States from April 2011 to July 2019, telling them they were required to pay for English courses or face legal consequences, according to a statement released Tuesday by the Justice Department. Milla, who was arrested in January 2020 on a U.S. extradition request, was sentenced on Tuesday to 110 months in prison, officials said.
