Criminal gets plastic surgery to look like a woman

A Mexican man gets plastic surgery to change his appearance to that of a woman to avoid capture by police.

Mexico City, Mexico (Reuters) - A Mexican man suspected of fraud was so keen to evade the law that he had surgery to make himself look like a woman, authorities said on Wednesday, June 8.

Police arrested 33-year-old Aaron Vera Morales, wanted for defrauding over 2 million pesos by overcharging a national theater institute for the purchase of audio equipment, the federal prosecutors office said in a statement.

Prosecutors said Vera was so eager to avoid justice that he resorted to plastic surgery to change his appearance from a man to a woman.

Officials declined to say whether he had had a sex change operation or if the surgery was just to change his appearance.
