Cesar Sayoc Seminole or Native American?

Pro-Trump stickers on his white van to profile information from his Twitter account, Cesar Sayoc, the man from Aventura arrested Friday for allegedly sending incendiary bombs to prominent Democrats, testifies to his affiliation to the Seminoles tribe in Florida.

"Native Americans for Trump" reads a sticker with the flag of the Florida Seminole tribe, placed on the white van that the police towed from the Plantation Auto Zone, where Sayoc, 56, was arrested.

Tribal spokesman Gary Bitner, referring to the many social media profiles that seem to be associated with Sayoc, categorically rejected the claim that Sayoc would in any way be affiliated with the tribe.

"We can find no evidence that Cesar Altieri, Caesar Altieri, Caesar Altieri Sayoc, Caesar Altieri Randazzo (Facebook) or Julus Cesar Milan (Twitter) was or was a member or employee of the Florida Seminole tribe, or was or was an employee. from Seminole Gaming or Hard Rock International, "Bitner said in an email. "For the moment, we can not check whether he is or was an employee of a supplier company."

He was born in Brooklyn in 1962, son of a Filipino immigrant, and attended North Miami Beach High School, according to information provided by ancestry.com, the genealogy company that tests clients' DNA so to reveal their ancestral roots.

Sayoc, who has long criminal backgrounds in Miami-Dade and Broward counties – including a 2002 charge of threatening to launch a bomb, battery, possession and sale of a muscular steroid , and a shoplifter – graduated from North Miami Beach High in 1980, according to the pictures in the directory. In high school, he belonged to the Catholic club.

What Sayoc did after high school is unclear. However, in a letter filed in the name of Sayoc in a 2013 criminal case in Broward County in which he was charged with robbery and murder, Sayoc appears to have led a tour of shows for a band dance company based in l & # 39; Ohio.

Valentine Valentine, owner of Valentine Productions, wrote a letter to the court on behalf of Sayoc in September 2014, claiming that Sayoc was "an essential part of the management and supervision of my road productions and the revenue generated by the clubs".

Contacted Friday by phone, Valentine first stated that he was refusing to comment, and then expressed regret for writing the letter.

"I met him a million years ago, he got caught robbing and wanted me to write a letter to the Florida judge," Valentine said. "I should never have done that. I have received 500 phone calls today. This sh-t enters the newspaper and it will give the impression that I know this guy. "
