(Telecompaper) Police in Sao Paulo have arrested Facebook's vice-president for Latin America for failing to cooperate with judicial orders in a criminal investigation. Diego Dzodan was taken into custody at Garulhos airport and is being questioned about Facebook subsidiary WhatsApp's alleged failure to reveal messages relating to a suspected drug-trafficking ring. The judge investigating the case imposed a daily penalty of BRL 1 million on the company for denying the request and has now ordered the arrest of Dzodan "for obstructing the police investigation."
