RIO DE JANEIRO — Police in Sao Paulo say they have arrested the vice-president of Facebook in Latin America.
 
A Tuesday news release says Argentine Diego Dzoran was arrested on an order from a judge in the northeastern state of Sergipe. Dzoran is accused of ignoring a judicial order in a secret investigation involving organized crime and drug trafficking.
 
A Brazilian judge in December blocked the popular WhatsApp messaging service owned by Facebook because it refused to give user information to police.
