US Customs MIAMI takes declared cash...

...backed by US District Court, the 11th Circuit CA, an the US Supreme Court the Border Patrol at the MIA International Airport fishes for its victims (see below)... We wrote to the White House - no answer ... Various FBI offices were notified five times - no acknowledgment. Here is a memo sent this year to the FBI office in Miami. We will gladly provide the full story if interested. Thanks.

Gentlemen, I was asked to help the parties wronged in the above incident  in their efforts to find redress and justice. The following material was already previously mailed to your Miami bureau in ca mid-July, 2008. It seems wise to make sure that you receive it by adding an extra e-mail copy. Thank you for your attention to this matter. R. Wilson

(As a reminder, during the relevant civil rights action the unlawful nature of the seizure was adequately proven to exist and confirmed.)

Re: Unlawful seizure of money by US Customs Service

       Date: Aug 22, 2002 – Place : Miami Internat. Airport

      Agents involved : Tom ROLAND, Jeffrey BALDWIN,

      Jerry LONG, Mark F. EDWARDS, Stuart COLON, et al.,

      Details/evidence: USDC Southern District of Florida

      CASE No  03-20412-Civ-GOLD/SIMONTON                                             Mid July,2008 - duplicate Aug 7, 2008

 

Gentlemen,

This is an attempt to prosecute the above case under the criminal law of the US. The victims ask, by and through their counsel(s) that FBI investigate and examine the facts and prepare a report based on court papers where all the requisite information including exhibits can be located (e.g. from US Courts online posting).

Basic facts : Two U.S. citizens, Gamo and Maggio, were returning from vacation in Bolivia. Agents of the U.S. Customs Service, Miami, ordered them (on the provided official forms) to show (declare) their money under the threat of seizure if the citizens did not produce it. When the citizens obeyed, U.S. Customs Agents (outnumbering their victims and armed with dangerous weapons) seized all of their money on false pretenses (lack of “money transmitting license” etc). They detained, arrested, searched, and imprisoned the citizens and violated their civil rights. US Customs Agents assaulted, battered, and abused Gamo. There was no search or arrest warrant. No probable cause was ever articulated. No criminal charges were brought. The combined amount unlawfully seized and converted (forfeited, stolen) is $66,440 in cash. All victim’s efforts to recover their property failed.

The two victims prosecuted the case as civil action in US courts (through the US Supreme Court) alleging that the individual Customs Agent Defendants made an unlawful search and seizure of the persons and belongings of the victims in violation of their rights under the 4th Amendment to the United States Constitution; that Customs Agents unlawfully detained, arrested, and imprisoned the victims, and seized and forfeited the victims’ money without due process of law in violation of the Fifth Amendment; that USC Agents imposed excessive fines of $66,440 in violation of the Eighth Amendment; that they used excessive force, and assaulted and battered Gamo. It was further alleged that US Customs Agents conspired in the furtherance of their illegal actions and that the above violations were committed as a result of policies, routines, and customs of the U.S. Customs Service in Miami. Victims sued for aggregate damages of $10 million.

Money Damages: The total cash claim against US Customs as of Aug 22, 2008, is $337,622.37 (with 9% interest compounded over 72 months and 303% of inflation of the dollar vs. the original currency). Please, inform the victims’ counsel of the case assignment and its progress within 30 days at the link bellow. We will provide any additional info on request. Thank you.
