BirreII Held in Brazil;
Wanted in Huge Fraud

RIO DE JANEIRO. July "a
(AP) .-BraZilian police today
announced the arrest of Lowell
NJ. Birrell, wanted in New York
on a S14 million fraud indict-
ment.
Police said the 52-year-old
attorney was picked up in the
fashionable Copacabana beach
area.
They said they are starting
legal steps at once to expel Mr..
Birrell from Brazil.
Police accused him of enter
ing Brazil with false docu-
mentS. They said he had three
paSSportS-two United States
and one Canadian.
Mr.. Birrell cannot be extra
dited from Brazil on the New
York indictment because the
United States and Brazil have
no extradition treaty-a sit
uation that has made this
country a favorite haven for
North Americans accused Of
crimes.
New York District Attorney
Frank S. Hogan announced in
New, York yesterday that Mr..
Birrell had been found in Rio.
Until today Brazilian officials
and members of the United
States Embassy staff said they
knew nothing about the matter.
The financier had been miss
ing since 1857. when a warrant
was issued for his arrest. Two
weeks ago he was charged in a
69-count indictment with en-
cheering a S14 million fraud
on stockholders Of two COM
panieS.
Police sources said Mr.. Bir-
rell was found on an FBI tip
delivered to the Ministry of
Justice by the United States
Embassy.
Top police officials attempt
ed to keep his arrest secret,
