Supplement:
Mr. Alsuwaidi has been a long term guest of the hotel for more than 1 year, and has 2 rooms for him and a relative (aunt). They have not experienced any issues in the past, and have been very satisfied with their experience to this point.
On Wednesday, March 4, 2015, Mr. Alsuwaidi requested to meet with Miguel, Resident Manager to discuss the incident and surrounding circumstances. Mr. Alsuwaidi brought a personal friend who appears to have a connection with the local authorities. His friend brought a copy of Mr. Sirageddin Ramadan’s Passport he obtained through the authorities via other hotels Mr. Ramadan has allegedly victimized in a similar way.
Mr. Alsuwaidi advised Miguel he met Mr. Ramadan while having coffee in Pantry@AVANI. He stated Mr. Ramadan struck a conversation with him, and asked if he spoke Arabic. Mr. Alsuwaidi did not elaborate on what was said, but indicated Mr. Ramadan must have taken note of things during their talk.
Mr. Alsuwaidi and his friend contacted the police and plan on returning with the police on Saturday, March 7, 2015 to have the police interview our associates involved in the case, in an effort to obtain additional clues about Mr. Ramadan.
