Flashy fugitive detained in Cuba after flaunting riches

{snips}

Cuban police earlier this month raided the gated home of a U.S. fugitive in the town of Guanabacoa, outside Havana, causing authorities in Florida to hope for extradition. Gilberto Martinez Suarez is wanted on major credit card fraud charges.
- -
Martinez was indicted by a federal grand jury in Miami in September, along with two others, on counterfeit credit-card charges and identity theft.
- -
By the time prosecutors filed charges in that case, Martinez was already gone. Charged in May 2013 with a similar offense in Martin County, he bonded out of jail and took off to Cuba.

He wasn't the first. The Sun Sentinel found a pipeline, facilitated by U.S. policy, that enables Cuban-born criminals escape to the island with their riches, well out of reach of American authorities.

1. Interesting.

Maybe flashing his money around wasn't such a good idea.

2. Is THIS why suddenly the US is open to business with Cuba?

More than interesting.

3. Went to "You Tube" to see what videos they had of him as "Gilbert Man." Damned creepy!

Too shabby to post here. Tacky, shabby, low-rent, even comical.

This guy needs to be stopped before he drags the entire human race back to before the Stone Age.
