Maybe you missed this part.http://www.sandiegored.com/noticias/52481/Andrew-Tahmooressi-lied-about-Tijuana/ AN DIEGO.– Andrew Tahmooressi’s story has taken a recent turn, the ongoing investigation reveals that the former marine had visited Tijuana more than once before his arrest at Customs. New information revealed through several media outlets — among them Zeta newspaper — confirms that Tahmooressi had been to Tijuana at least twice before his April 1 arrest; the data coincides with movement in his bank account. It is assumed that the ex–marine had crossed the border on foot for personal reasons. Some of his acquaintances confirmed this information to authorities investigating the case. Alejandro Osuna, Andrew Tahmooressi’s lawyer, confirmed the accounts to be true and stated that he had been the one to advise Tahmooressi to stick to the script and not reveal the previous visits, because this could possibly affect the credibility of his declarations. Osuna explained to the U-T San Diego that although Tahmooressi had attemted to change his initial declaration Osuna persuaded him to continue — although the truth is still uncertain considering the recent information circulating in the media. Another interesting detail to note are the declarations of Alejandro González Guilbot, chief of Mexican Customs in Tijuana, whose declarations do not coincide with Andrew Tahmooressi’s initial claims. “He never said that he was lost, he never informed us that he was carrying weapons, and he never said that he was a former member of the armed forces,” González stated. The Chief of Customs added that his agents initially detained the vehicle because it was lacking a front license plate, and upon inspecting the vehicle discovered the three loaded weapons — two of which are considered military grade in Mexico — and 400 pieces of ammunition. González, who has been chief for almost a year, mentioned that approximately twice a week they detain American citizens with firearms at Customs, but on this occasion he saw the largest arsenal that he has been involved in confiscating. - See more at: http://www.sandiegored.com/noticias/52481/Andrew-Tahmooressi-lied-about-Tijuana/#sthash.fc8WD1Ir.dpuf |
