At Airways Auto Tag, it's all in the family...

.

So here we are waiting for my attorney to get back to me regarding those documents that are going to unravel the states case against the three tellers that were arrested for the alleged theft of tens of thousands of dollars from Airways Auto Tag Agency when I come across this police statement...

This statement, for whatever it's worth, comes from someone named Mirielis Martinez de Castro.  I suppose that she's in some way shape or form related to the owner of the tag agency, Ileana Martinez de Castro.  Let's take a look at her statement...

Here's the text of that statement...

I Mirieles Martinez de Castro worked at Airways Auto Tag for 9 yrs.  I left Airways on Jan 2011.  I did trained Tracey Gomez to do my work when I was absent and gave her my password.  I will void transactions but with my code.  I had no access and didn't know any of the cashiers password.  The only ones that had access to the accounting system was Ileana and I and when I was absent or on vacation Tracey was trained to do my work.

I wonder, when Detective Baluja was interviewing the tellers and presumably the woman that gave this statement, did he inquire as to the relationship between herself and the owner of the tag agency or perhaps did he already know that they were related?  Besides, did any of the cops on this case put two and two together and realize that the woman that made this written statement just happened to live in the same house as a guy named Christopher O. Martinez de Castro?  Let's refer back to our post regarding the company that makes the accounting software for the tag agency, a company called Nicrosoft...

Would you look at that?  It turns out that the guy that shares a home with the woman that made this statement is also one of the principals of the company that wrote the tag agency's accounting software and it appears that they're all related to the owners of the tag agency!  So now where does that leave us with those sensitive passwords that the police alleged that only the tellers they arrested knew?  It looks to me now that there's at least four people other than the tellers now that could have known those passwords and were able to log into the accounting system and voiding the transactions in question.

Here's the icing on the cake though, the state alleges that these thefts all occurred during December 2010, the woman that made the statement that we're talking about today tells us through her statement that she worked at the tag agency through January 2011, less than one month after the thefts were discovered.  Coincidence? At the very least when you take into account just how many people had access to the teller passwords as well as the fact that there is an uncomfortable incestuous relationship between the tag agency, the company that wrote the accounting software as well as the termination of employment of the woman who wrote this statement, we're left with a shitload of reasonable doubt, enough where I doubt any jury could possibly find the three tellers charged guilty of anything.  It sure is convenient to work with family members, especially when the shit hits the fan...
