"The group did leave San Juan La Laguna and currently resides in the Ninth Zone of Guatemala City, where the raid took place.
Several probes have been conducted in the past into goings on within the closed community — dubbed “the Jewish Taliban” — with reports of violent behavior and under-age marriage.
Guatemalan law allowed marriage from the age of 14 when Lev Tahor moved to the country. It was raised to 18 in November.
The community is headed by Israeli Rabbi Shlomo Helbrans, who left Israel in 1990. During the 1990s, he served two years in prison in the US for kidnapping a boy. Some time after, his community settled in Quebec and later Ontario. Some members then relocated to Guatemala.
In recent years, relatives of Lev Tahor disciples have reported on the use of violent control methods such as forcing young girls to marry older men, corporal punishment and use of psychiatric drugs, Haaretz said."
