Ottawa -- Canadian woman marks her second anniversary in a Mexican prison today. Mexican authorities jailed Brenda Martin two years ago for her alleged involvement in an investment scheme masterminded by her former boss, Alyn Waage.
Mr. Waage bilked thousands of investors of nearly $60-million (U.S.) and was sentenced in 2005 to 10 years in a U.S. federal prison.
But he has sworn an affidavit asserting Ms. Martin, who worked as his cook, knew nothing of the scheme.
Toronto lawyer Guillermo Cruz Rico appeared before a Mexican judge last month to argue for Ms. Martin's release from a Guadalajara jail.
