My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida.
Hi all. I live in Belize Central America and have a problem, which I hope I can get some help.
I worked for an American, from Miami Beach Florida, here in Belize as his property manager, I lived on site at his property in the managers house. In July 2010 I went on vacation for 3 weeks, while I was away, my employer entered my locked room and found my check book, The check book is for my account in the USA, he took 2 checks from the back of the check book, I have the check numbers, He then wrote one of the checks out for $9000us and cash it with a local agent.
When I returned from my vacation I had an email from my bank, Wachovia, saying that a check had been returned due to NSF. I found out it was my employer who had written the check. He said he was desperate to pay the insurance on the house and had no other choice. He promised to make good on the check, but has not.
My question is this, Can I have him arrested for this crime in the USA even though it was committed in Belize? I was thinking I could as this involved a US bank account.
My former employer has not returned to Belize since August 2010 as his house was placed into receivership. He has not repaid the person that cash the check for him and now that person is theatening me with arrest if I do not pay him the $9000. I am not a US citizen but would like to know how I can get this reported to the correct law enforcement agency.
