Money was counted at the house by Pedro castorena and manual leija daily and put into envelopes amounts differed from one thousand to five thousand Suads job was to put the money in the envelopes and was paid 50.00 dollars. During these years manual because of coke and drinking beat suads mother and at different times punched suad breaking her nose. They also expanded to Denver, Las Vegas, New York ,Atlanta and other cities using only members of the both families. All members have different cities and their relatives have different areas of the cities to operate and take turns like shift work leaving every three months so another members can come and make their money. A percent is paid to the main families. There are many stories suad has reference all of the above. In 1996 winter time getting ready for school at 7am the door was broke down by around 15 FBI agents.          Suad, sister and mother where taken to the federal building in Chicago and questioned. Both girls threatened to be put in homes and separated if they did not say where their father was.

The same night all where released and picked by a man named bro one of the bodyguards and taken back to the apt to pack. At midnight they went to the garage in the basement where three white vans where waiting.

Lived in Mexico City. Manuel traveling back and forth to the US.

 

1999- 2004

Mother moved suad to Nicaragua to live with mother’s aunt. Mother and sister lived in Mexico and Chicago, than mother and sister returned to Nicaragua after Manuel took the mother to an isolated area and was going to kill her blaming the problem in Chicago with the FBI on he,r Pedro talked Manuel into sending her to Nicaragua and not shooting her. . For the next years Suad talked with manuel or gradski a couple of times a month suad   in order to receive money. Money was sent twice a month about 4-5 thousand per month. Money was send by western union or fedex in magazines in different pages. The money was sent to suad because the mother was drinking more and more and not investing it right. The stores the mother opened suad had to participate in the negotiation. During this time the Uncle Pedro was arrested in the United States and sent to prison for four years for document fraud. Over the following years suad only saw the Mexican family at Christmas but talked with most members weekly.

 

2004-present

Met John Doe in a restaurant in Managua Nicaragua. Suad was a third year student at the university at this time. John doe had several business in central America and traveled back and forth to Miami for the house in Nicaragua .suad told john doe a little of the family business john doe showing little interest except in such a poor country how does a young girl have so much money. Over time suad learned that John Doe did work for the United States government in the past and some in the present. He did seem to know that suads mother was at times doing some illegal business but did not care. In 2005 John Doe expanded business to Mexico starting in Guadalajara. Suads Uncle Julio a member of the federals was going to go to Nicaragua and move both suad and her sister to Mexico. Before this could happen Julio had to go to Chicago. In May the sister had a sweet 15 party in Managua John Doe met the grandmother and grandfather and aunt. This was pasted to manual in Chicago where several threatening phone calls where made threatening to kill John Doe. Suad moved to Mexico City with John Doe until things changed in nov. 2005.

 

Dec. 2005

Suad moved to Mexico City and had interaction with her family. In the middle of nov. suad received a phone call from her aunt Edith that her father had been arrested in Chicago and was their anything John Doe could do to help. Joe doe asked to communicate with manuals new wife in Chicago for more details. At this time John Doe revealed to suad that he was active with a United States agency but had not worked for more than a year due to personal problems. John advised he could help but needed more info on the family and the arrest. John advised he had written a paper on a plan to identify terrorist both crossing the border and those already in country. This paper was written in 2003 and included as an addendum to a report on an operation that had taken place in Costa Rica and Cuba. [See attached]. At the time what was written was just an idea. As john had a complete picture of the families business an opportunity was present to implement the plan or parts of it. A perfect opportunity. Suads grandfather Natividad and Uncle Juan Luis sat with john and suad in Mexico City and it was agreed to find a way to get manual out of jail. They did not know anything about john’s motives. John Doe was told at the first meeting when asked about these documents falling into and maybe already have to terrorist the grandfather Natividad replied the TERRORISM IS AN AMERICAN PROBLEM NOT MEXICAN THIS WAS ABOUT THE BUSINESS. If a deal could be worked out and manual released the operational part of the plan could be implemented. John does control over the organizations computers [See attached]. Suad was agreeable since she had two motives one to help john doe if her father did not get the jail time that could be given about 30 years. The other to help john and the idea of tracking terrorist was good for the United States.

John sent the entire plan and access to the crime family to his control in Miami and was told that it could be discussed when I was in Miami. Foreign counterparts move faster and more decisive. John moved the plan to another agency and went to Chicago to offer manual a deal to get out of jail with out him knowing anything. Manual refused to see suad and also turned down the deal. Suad suggested that the whole system should be exposed because she could see that the agency she sat with and identified people and who was who that they did not see this as a national security problem and terrorist problem but as an immigration problem. Also that the promise made by the agents to get her residency in exchange for all her help was a lie. As was said in one meeting the powers to be in DC in the dept where more interested in a short term project to bust illegal’s and maybe a few small politicians. Suad advised john to just go national and close down the entire family in all cities and expose the shortcomings of the homeland security dept and the other agencies.

 

There is of course a lot more in this story both personal and business and shows the young lady in a life that is hard to imagine and the people that profess to be family and kill each other.

1-     manual kills suads father to have mother

2-     uncle Julio attempts to kill first wife husband

3-     Manual and Pedro attempts to kill suads mother in Mexico but change there mind and lets her go to Nicaragua.

Suad is in the middle of the bargaining since john does not speak Spanish and has to deal with many members of the family.
