And in a related story, 7News has received a cluster of screenshots
discussing last week's blockage of the main entrance to the Port of
Belize. As we told you the entrance was blocked by a bus owned by tour
operator Yohnny Rosado. He later said his bus was stolen.
The gist of the message thread is that a well-monied investment group
with perhaps a vested business interest in undermining the Port of
Belize had supposedly promised to pay for the buses to block the
entrance. Two buses were damaged, and the messages suggest that forty
thousand dollars was to have been paid to Yohny Rosado for his losses.
That money never came through - and there is some dispute in the
messages that it was even promised.
Rosado has told us that promises were made to him and he feels he was
set up by FECTAB and this particular business interest.
