More of Chapter Twenty-two
More investigation was needed before anyone could be charged.
The Securities and Exchange Commission and Interpol hoped that a surveliance team keeping their eyes on the Williams and watching their every move in their hotels and on their long honeymoon in Rwanda and on the rest of the trip might lead to more incriminating evidence. They also hoped to gather more information on Chad through his international phone calls which would be monitored.
The FBI wasn’t sure how many more suspects there were in the wide ranging scam. In any case, they suspected Chad’s family members were all equally responsible and involved in the massive fraud until proven otherwise.
The FBI had access to U.S. satellite resources. Interpol’s new and improved satellite phone recovery software was up and running now and ight help as well, but it was a newer system and not yet proven to all that reliable.
There had been problems in the past. The U.S. were also using the Pegasus system developed by Israel. Phone calls between father and sons had supported the investigation.
The investigation had started several moths ago after there had been many similar complaints from clients and family members about how the William’s Brokerage House statements didn’t match up with reality or expectations. These irregularities in the statements couldn’t be explained away easily by the Williams.
A new network of cooperation had been hammered out and was now being run jointly by the FBI with the Securities and Exchange Commission following suit. That cooperation wasn’t easy to come by but it had finally been arranged.
Chad’s U.S. calls were already being recorded for this investigation as well as all of the other family member’s phone calls. Cell phone calls are easy to monitor as no search warrant are needed. The only thing needed is very good technology. Interception of their international calls would now be easier after this new cooperation between Interpol, Israel and Rwandan authorities started working together.
Recently launched Israili and U.S. satellites along with the Rwandan cooperation had made all of this possible.
