Accused fugitive to be deported
A woman accused of bilking her friends of some $2 million in personal loans yesterday blamed her "investors" for her woes, saying that after they went to police with allegations of fraud she had no choice but to go into hiding.
"They panicked and thought I'd run away with their money," said Janice Del Rosario, who was arrested Monday after evading a Canadawide immigration warrant for
vanessa bruno two months. "These are
pandora charms my friends. They are my investors. If they had not panicked I would have paid everybody back."
In an interview at the Canada Immigration detention centre yesterday, Del Rosario, 44, said she had every intention of paying them back but a deportation order derailed those plans.
Her husband, Kaye Gravador Del Rosario, 33, the subject of a similar warrant, surrendered to police at a sandwich shop near Leslie St. and Finch Ave. yesterday afternoon after two months on the lam. The couple

ghd straighteners in that country. Among the alleged victims is a general, two colonels and a police chief.
One of the alleged victims in Manila is the wife of a police superintendent who claims she is out about $180,000 Canadian in her dealings with the fugitive couple.
Del Rosario said those charges were laid only after she and her husband had left the Philippines. The superintendent was working for her on commission of 5 per cent for every client he referred to her, she said. The superintendent turned on her because
windows 7 product key she had stopped making commission payments, she said.
Janice and Kaye Del Rosario, and their two boys, 13, and 8, went into hiding Nov. Janice Del Rosario was arrested Monday night after she barricaded herself in a basement apartment on Bathurst St. near Highway 401.
The family is scheduled to be deported today.
The arrests come on the heels of a Star investigation published Sunday depicting the stories of a number of alleged victims in the GTA including a 75yearold pensioner who claims he was bilked out of $1.2 million. The others say they are out between from $30,000 to $70,000.
The alleged scam was based on an offer of a 10 per cent return on personal loans for just 10 days. Del Rosario claimed she was involved in buying and selling highend jewellery and would give them postdated cheques as collateral on the loans. Most of
microsoft office 2010 product key those cheques have bounced.
None of the alleged victims in Canada were aware there were warrants for the Del Rosario's arrest in the Philippines when she started tapping them for loans.
Del Rosario insists she was making regular interest payments but
casque beats the investors panicked and called in their loans when they learned her claim for refugee status had been denied and she was being deported.
"They all went to cash the cheques at the same time and, of course, they bounced," she said.
Del Rosario said she had tried to work out a lastminute deal to pay her friends back with jewellery but it was rejected because "they wanted cash."
The alleged victims claim Del Rosario showered them with expensive gifts and held weekly prayer meetings at her North York condo.
Del Rosario said she went into hiding because of fears of what will happen to her
grape 5s when she returns to the Philippines.
"They can do anything they want to me over there."
Immigration lawyer Henry Moyal, who
bred 11s has represented Del Rosario in the past, said there is a legitimate fear that she

Moyal said

Staff Sgt. Paul MacIntyre of Toronto's fugitive squad said police have been served with a court order from a lawyer freezing the jewellery until the rightful ownership can be determined.
