A Personal Note from Sherri "Update - No Improvement for Us"
 July 5, 2010
I deliberately refrained from posting anything new here for several weeks because I tried to remain optimistic and hopeful of being able to report good news to you eventually. But that has not come to pass. It has been over a month now since Mauricio and I were surrounded on Cozumel’s highway by unmarked vehicles, removed and hand cuffed by plain clothed thugs with guns and jailed on Federal charges somehow resurrected from dead archives put away long ago for “lack of evidence.”
Then just last week, as we were scheduled to appear at the Federal courthouse for one of the countless hearings on these bogus Federal charges, 12 STATE police showed up (along with a representative of Comer to identify us) to arrest us under the trespassing charges….where we will not be eligible for bail at all. This happened despite the existence of a protection order (amparo) we had in place where the Cozumel Criminal Judge (Rosaura Villanueva) was supposed to divulge in writing what the State charges against us were and to disclose if she was issuing a detention order for us. Even though she supposedly (by law) had just a couple of days to respond, she took over 3 weeks to answer and then delivered a statement dated 4 days earlier saying “at this time, there are no charges and no detention order.” (Of course charges and a detention order were created AFTER she wrote the Court ordered response….how convenient.) Now we struggle to not be jailed again under these additional false charges.
I had given Mr. Comer the benefit of the doubt earlier by saying that he probably wasn’t aware of what his agents were doing. But now, it is clear he is aware, approves of and continues to fund these efforts against us.
In addition, it can be said that Felix, Borge, Juan Carlos, Aurelio and Gustavo all know what is happening and have turned a blind eye to the gringa’s problems. These are all local and State politicians whose governments have directly benefited from my 12+ years of raising thousands of dollars in donations and recruiting hundreds of volunteers for their city run programs like Carnaval, the City Lifeguards and the Marine Turtle Program. It appears my paltry community service contributions are all meaningless in the face of a mega gazillionaire condo developer like Comer.
I wish I had better news to report but the fact is that we have been displaced from our Cozumel home and businesses for over a month now and we have no hope of returning since the minute we do, we will be arrested again under the trespassing charges that Comer and Villalobos refuse to dismiss
.
This sort of judicial EXTORTION is unacceptable for Cozumel investors, businesses and travelers.
It literally implies that a foreigner can have a simple “fender bender” and end up in jail being accused of attempted murder. Why or how? All it takes for this to happen is exactly what has happened to Mauricio and I: local police in collusion with a criminal judge and an unethical lawyer can all work together to EXTORT foreigners out of cash, property or whatever in exchange for NOT BEING CHARGED WITH A CRIME. Bail is not available to those charged with attempted murder so the poor guy who just had a fender bender will sit in a Mexican prision (like they are trying to do to us) for up to a year just waiting for his case to go before the judge….or else he will PAY THE EXTORTION which then gets divided up amongst those in collusion.
Please don't say this doesn’t happen in Cozumel ~ because it’s happening to us! I will continue to write about what is happening to us until its conclusion so that the depth and breadth of what occurs in Cozumel and Quintana Roo is known and understood by potential investors, retirees and travelers. They have a right to know the truth about where they are visiting.
As for those still wanting to help us in any way they can ~ thank you so very much for your support and stay tuned.
Your help will be needed shortly.

Hello: Sorry about all the calls and e-mails yesterday ~ it appears that we had a problem with yahoo email and receiving your confirmations. But I had your staff send the confirmations to my work e-mail and all is good. Your staff was very helpful, customer service friendly and courteous and I think your agency is great! My wife is a travel/booking agent and she agrees with me and plans to use your services in the future to book excursions for her clients. Thanks again and have a good day; Michael Weinberger ~ not given

We just got back from Cozumel last week and I'd like to thank you for answering all my questions and for setting us up on the Fury Snorkeling & Beach Party Tour and the van from Budget. This was the 4th time visiting the island and the 1st time that I didn't have the first bit of trouble with booking something online. Your service was great and I will be sure and book with you on my next trip. Thanks again! Danny Neal ~ Marshall TX

Just wanted to thank COZUMELINSIDER for getting us booked for our activities while we were in Cozumel. The dolphin swim was fantastic! I'd do it again in a minute. We didn't get to do the SNUBA diving ..... we ended up doing the Helmet dive instead for the same price. We plan on visiting Cozumel again possibly next year and will be contacting you to book some excursions prior to our vacation. We saved a significant amount of money booking the excursions through COZUMELINSIDER instead of the cruise line. Thanks again! S.Forgette and G Wichtowski ~ Not Given

My family and I have returned to Cozumel many times - it's a favorite destination and we have watched it change over the past 20 years. The Cozumel Insider is a great publication - it's a wonderful way to keep up with the news about one of our favorite islands. We are preparing to visit again this August and the Insider has shown us some different activities to try, as well as helped to bring us up to date with local political and ecological happenings. We're delighted to see the interest in wildlife conservation throughout the area. Keep up the good work on this terrific site. D. McClean ~ unknown
