He only used his own personal cards which are not fake, but the ATMs had a problem keep saying invalid card to every customers, that\u2019s why he tried many times with his own cards and the bank knows about the problem. He explain that to the police but they didn&#8217;t care.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Forgery:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For forgery an equipment must be used to commit forgery, but this equipment does not exist. He can\u2019t forge his own CARDS with his own hands.\u00a0 In fact, when they found his own cards they were happy and not even searched for any potential equipment to commit forgery.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trafficking forged cards:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>How? His own real cards can&#8217;t be trafficked with himself.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They never checked the magnetic stripe to see if it contains stolen information. In another case with one Bulgarian arrested in 2019, they found equipment on him and forged cards, but they checked the cards while he was in police custody.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He argued many times with the Magistrates about this and always said that it takes time. But they can easily check the cards at every bank like they did in the Bulgarian case. \u00a0What procedure is followed to sustain the charge of forgery in order to send him to jail? If they had something against him why they presented search warrant and no arrest warrant?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Magistrate keep saying to him to change his\u00a0lawyer\u00a0if he is not happy ignoring that he was keep saying that he was scammed by the\u00a0lawyers\u00a0and nobody is doing nothing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Magistrate failed to let him to defend himself despite he was repeating he is being scammed by the\u00a0lawyers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the police can do everything with the cards , and change even the real data from the cards and add stolen data on them to look fake.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Is the same thing like they would stop someone with white flour in the car and without checking the powder they charge the driver for possession and trafficking cocaine and put him in jail for 10 months only until they check on the powder. That is not possible. They should also check the CARDS the same way they check the money if they are fake. After that they can build charges.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As I know there is a law that every inmate can apply for bail without a\u00a0lawyer.<\/p>\n<p>They did not let him, they always said him to do it with a\u00a0lawyer. Incredible. This is the part of the system. It is a business.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rappers got bail, gun violent crimes got bail, drug crimes got bail . All during April. He was completely abandoned by the system because he is European.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They let him in that horrible and inhuman place where the insects bite him on all his body and even those with violent crimes and previous criminality got bail. Where is that possible?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>His first court was on 12th of February and the police was supposed to bring evidence. The court was postponed without any information for weeks.<\/p>\n<p>In other cases the MAGISTRATE was asking the police for something new on the case in order to extend the investigation.\u00a0 In his case never asked and they never provide nothing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the\u00a0lawyers:<\/p>\n<p>1st\u00a0Lawyer\u00a0(Name withheld) 3500usd and I asked her to say to the judge that he was arrested with his real card, she didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2nd\u00a0Lawyer\u00a0(name withheld) charge us in advance for 2 bail application and he did only 1 and a half arguing about the jail conditions and nothing on the case.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>3rd\u00a0Lawyer\u00a0(Name withheld) again paid him in advance and not even answering the messages, arguing that is in court.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Total: more than EC$20,000 paid to the\u00a0lawyers\u00a0for nothing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He had a court date recently and we did not know what happened and we strongly believe that even the 3rd\u00a0lawyer\u00a0let him down as he did not said nothing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We do not know how to proceed.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN
