Corruption, defamation, and threats to safety have no borders. The devastating impacts of these crimes are far-reaching and undermine justice, eroding the foundations of lawful governance and human rights. In my own experience, systemic corruption in both the United States and Costa Rica has not only disrupted my life but has also exposed troubling patterns of misconduct involving public officials, law enforcement agencies, and international representatives.
This article details the injustices I have endured and underscores the need for swift action to uphold justice and restore integrity to our institutions.
Systemic Corruption in the United States
My ordeal began in Lee County, Florida, where I faced an orchestrated campaign of corruption and harassment. Key individuals involved include Sheriff Carmine Marcino, former Sheriff Mike Scott, and an unlawful immigrant named Miriam Pacheco. These parties participated in organized fraud, drug trafficking, and even a conspiracy to commit murder. Despite public exposure of these crimes, including documented solicitation of murder-for-hire (Case No. #53–35825) reported in The Naples Daily News, justice remains elusive due to the complicity of high-ranking officials like former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former FBI Director James Comey.
My false arrest photo, unlawfully publicized by Sheriff Carmine Marcino, has had devastating consequences. The fabricated charges of obstruction of justice and resisting arrest have destroyed my reputation, severely limiting my professional opportunities. This defamatory action represents a blatant abuse of power and highlights a systemic failure to protect the rights of innocent citizens.
Escalating Threats in Costa Rica
Seeking refuge from corruption in the United States, I relocated to Costa Rica with hopes of rebuilding my life and business. Unfortunately, the misconduct followed me. Despite my repeated appeals for protection and assistance, I faced obstruction from U.S. Ambassador Cynthia A. Telles and her staff at the U.S. Embassy in Costa Rica. Their dismissive and negligent handling of my case exacerbated my vulnerability, leaving me exposed to threats and harassment.
Local officials and attorneys in Costa Rica, including Richard Seaton, Carly Huba, and James Huba, have targeted me with fabricated criminal charges and defamatory campaigns. These coordinated attacks are part of a broader scheme to seize my hotel business and property. This conspiracy has not only harmed me personally but has also jeopardized the investments of U.S. citizens who trusted Costa Rica’s legal system.
The Human Cost of Corruption
The ramifications of this corruption extend beyond individual cases. In Costa Rica, greed-fueled corruption has contributed to an alarming rise in crime, including organized murder and fraud. Public officials and attorneys, driven by avarice, have exploited the legal system to rob citizens and investors of their rightful properties. As widely reported in the media, these crimes have escalated the country’s murder rate and endangered countless lives.
Evidence from surveillance footage and public records reveals a disturbing pattern of cover-ups, conspiracies, and violent crimes. The involvement of minors in contract killings highlights a shocking disregard for human life and the rule of law. These atrocities must be met with decisive action to restore justice and protect innocent citizens.
A Demand for Accountability
To address these injustices, it is imperative to hold all responsible parties accountable. The evidence I have presented includes court cases, police records, and witness testimony, all of which document the corruption and misconduct I have faced. My appeals to authorities, including Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chaves and Judicial Investigation Office (OIJ) Director Randall Zúñiga, emphasize the urgent need for justice.
Key figures such as Sheriff Carmine Marcino and Ambassador Cynthia A. Telles must answer for their roles in perpetuating these crimes. The documented misconduct of these officials, including defamation, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy, represents a gross violation of ethical and legal standards. The integrity of our institutions depends on holding these individuals accountable.
Evidence and Appeals for Justice
On September 14, 2024, I submitted a comprehensive criminal complaint to multiple authorities, including President Rodrigo Chaves and OIJ Director Randall Zúñiga. This complaint contains:
- Five Costa Rican court cases with supporting documentation.
- Public records from the Costa Rica Supreme Court, Jaco Court, and Jaco Police Department.
- Witness testimonies attesting to the hate crimes and conspiracies against me.
Despite the overwhelming evidence, justice remains elusive due to obstruction and negligence by officials such as Fiscal Eduardo Mora Casconte. These failures have emboldened corrupt parties to continue their schemes, jeopardizing the safety and investments of countless individuals.
On September 6, 2024, I also submitted a formal complaint to the Costa Rica College of Attorneys, detailing the roles of Francisco Eiter Cruz Marchena and Carlos Villegas Méndez in facilitating fraud and conspiracy. This complaint was forwarded to U.S. Secretary of State Anthony J. Blinken and the FBI to ensure transparency and accountability.
Unlawful Watch List Placement and Defamation
In addition to facing threats abroad, I have been unlawfully placed on a U.S. Department of Homeland Security watch list. This flagging, based on falsified information from Sheriff Carmine Marcino, violates my constitutional rights, including the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection and the 4th Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.
A TSA officer confirmed that fraudulent charges of obstruction and domestic violence, filed by Miriam Pacheco and supported by Sheriff Marcino, remain in their database despite being dismissed. This defamatory labeling not only restricts my freedom to travel but also places my safety at risk by portraying me as a threat to law enforcement.
Legal Demands and Call to Action
I am calling for immediate action to rectify these injustices:
- Thorough Investigation: A comprehensive investigation into the actions of Sheriff Carmine Marcino and other complicit officials.
- Record Corrections: Removal of all false and defamatory information from public and government records.
- Protection of Rights: Upholding my constitutional rights and ensuring fair treatment under the law.
- Public Disclosure: Transparency in disclosing defamatory statements and clearing my name.
Additionally, I urge authorities to investigate and prosecute those involved in corruption and conspiracy, both in the United States and Costa Rica. The safety of U.S. citizens and the integrity of international investments depend on our collective commitment to justice.
Conclusion
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” The corruption and defamation I have faced threaten not only my personal safety but also the principles of fairness and integrity that define our societies. I appeal to President Donald J. Trump, President Rodrigo Chaves, and all relevant authorities to take decisive action. Justice must prevail to protect future generations and uphold the rule of law.
May this call for justice serve as a testament to resilience, truth, and accountability in the face of adversity.
God Bless the United States of America and Costa Rica.
