Update on Perry Don Cortese Criminal Conspiracy Case

In October, 2016, after a three week jury trial, Perry Don Cortese was convicted of money laundering, mail fraud and related offenses in Case 15-CR-00320 in the U.S. District Court in Tampa, Florida. He asked to be free on bail pending sentencing. The Government vigorously objected that he was a "danger to the community" and a high flight risk. The Government stated:
"Cortese, a licensed attorney in Texas, was the 'company lawyer' for a sophisticated organized crime group that defrauded dozens of victims throughout the United States, via numerous fraud schemes, and then laundered the victims' money to avoid detection."
Cortese was the "consigliere in this international criminal enterprise."
Cortese conspired with other criminals in Canada, Africa and elsewhere, in particular with one Ikechuwu Derek Amai.
Cortese and his co-conspirators' frauds, counterfeiting, forgeries and other crimes robbed victims of millions of dollars.
The Government estimates his sentence guidelines range at 135-168 months in prison, and possibly the maximum of 20 years depending on the intended loss amount proven at sentencing.

Secret Importation of Somalis to USA ??

Here's an open letter I've sent to President Trump about what I observed flying from Germany to the US this week:

Re:       Illegal Immigration from N. Africa

Dear President Trump,

 On Wednesday Jan. 18, 2017 my wife and I flew back to the USA from Italy. We were routed through Frankfurt, Germany and flew from there on a Lufthansa flight that arrived in Houston about 3:00 p.m. CDT.  The waiting area was full of people who from their dress, complexion and facial features appeared to be Somalis. They had thrown food wrappers on the floor.

The plane was an Airbus and it was almost full. A flight attendant told me that 80% of the passengers in the lower level were refugees that Germany was sending to the US.  She also said that the lower level looked like a bomb had gone off, with trash and food strewn in the aisles. My wife went to the restroom on the lower level and saw shoe prints on the toilet lid, and where the Somalis had missed the toilet. They stand on the toilet seat then squat. It also appeared that some had just squatted on the floor.  There was also blood in a sink and on the wall.  The attendant told us that usually the German government tells Lufthansa when a bunch of refugees were coming, but that didn’t happen this time.

In Florence, which is one of the most cultured and civilized cities in the world, and birthplace of the Renaissance, I saw a sign in a bathroom showing a figure squatting on a toilet (feet on lid) with a red line crossing it diagonally.  When we landed in Houston, none of the ‘refugees’ went through immigration or customs, nor did they get their baggage like all the others had to do.


I suspect that the governments of Germany and the USA tried to hide the importation of at least 250 ‘refugees.’  Further, that they bypassed customs and immigration and were turned loose. Many German and French cities have been under assault from Islam, and there have been reports of harassment of women, even gang rapes. It seems that Europe is now trying to foist its problems on us.
