Luis Armando Pena Soltren, 66, surrendered to federal authorities at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport after exiting a flight from Havana, Cuba, officials said. It’s the same airport from which Pan Am Flight 281 took off more than 40 years ago.

He flew to New York under the custody of State Department diplomatic security personnel, said a law enforcement source and a senior State Department official.

Authorities did not offer additional details about Soltren’s arrest.

Soltren “will finally face the American justice system that he has been evading for more than four decades,” U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said.
