Bolivian colonel convicted of extorting Miami Lakes businessman sentenced to three years
A former top cop in Bolivia is sentenced to three years in prison for shaking down a wealthy businessman in Miami Lakes.

Bolivia’s convicted anti-corruption chief did not testify at his Fort Lauderdale federal trial on extortion charges in March. But on Friday, former Bolivian National Police Col. Mario Fabricio Ormachea Aliaga delivered a long-winded plea for a short prison sentence.
It didn’t work. He got three years.
In an only-in-South Florida criminal case, Ormachea was convicted of extorting a rich Bolivian businessman living in Miami Lakes for $30,000 in exchange for making trumped-up charges against him disappear back home.
Ormachea’s wealthy target was Humberto Roca, former owner of Aerosur Airlines, who fled Bolivia for the United States in 2011 after he was charged with “illegal enrichment” in his native country.
“He tracked down Mr. Roca and he made these threats,” U.S. District Judge Robin Rosenbaum said, rejecting Ormachea’s bid for a 1 1/2-year sentence. “That is a crime in the United States. ... We don’t want that going on in the United States.”

Humberto Roca is a true sleazoid, and knows he needs to be in prison, and his residence here in the U.S., OUTSIDE the reach of the law, is itself a crime!
Maybe the idea of yanking the chain of a total a-hole doesn't seem as bad as some of the crimes she's had before her!
Heeeere's Humberto!

Then I saw, in google images, references to Roca's "super car" collection he had to leave behind him in Santa Cruz, the violently racist fascist European descendant controlled area in Bolivia when he fled his "made up charges" to hide out in the U.S.

A Deserted Bolivian Supercar Collection.
Posted 7 Jun 2012 by UltimateBlogger
Somewhere in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, sits a secret underground car collection that’s rumoured to contain over 60 extraordinary cars. The collection is said to be owned by Humero Roca who’s recently fled from Bolivia and depending on the source, sought refuge in either Miami or Spain.
Humero Roca, the former president of AeroSur, Bolivia’s principal privately owned airline, has personally been accused by the Bolivian government of ‘illegal enrichment’ following allegations by current AeroSur president and half-brother Sergio Sanzetenea of embezzling $37.2 million from the company. The company is currently in serious financial trouble and trying to stave off bankruptcy.
Photos follow of his toy collection:

Google translation regarding a piece done on him in the U.S., in Spanish:
Humberto Roca does not give up two of his convictions: that is the true owner of AEROSUR and is in exile because the government remains an illegal process. But it can not stay idly waiting to give reason. "You have a family to support," he says. So, venturing into real estate in the United States."
The company is called FlexLar, flexible home. I manage property, and third party. Now it's a tiny little company, but we will grow, "he says during a tour of apartments that belong, in three areas of Miami. One of those houses is occupied by the crews of the airline in their scales in Miami.
"The settlement, furnished, rent or sell. Oversee the work with my brothers, who had to leave the country because they opened judgments for the same reasons as I am, "he says, referring to Carlos and Blanca Alicia.
Managing property is not something new to him. He had that business in Bolivia. And who knows another area combined, computers (Serco, Computer Service, was his first company in 1983) for a program that allows you to control Internet business from home."
Look at it, it's not like they say, live like a millionaire. I rather go back. In Santa Cruz always had a good life; my childhood took place in a house of 1,800 square meters, with 15 rooms. When I got married I moved to a home with five bedrooms and 1,000 square meters. This home in the United States has 385 square feet and Installment Payment "he says.
The development of Los Lagos is not a luxury condominium, say those who know Miami. Humberto lives there with his wife and two sons, and two daughters and both families. A lunch and Carlos Roca Blanca Alicia added.
The median home has pool, living room, indoor and outdoor room and five bedrooms. The garage was converted into a games room and karaoke. The suite is as 6 × 6 meters, with double bed and wardrobe. The other bedrooms are smaller. Outside there are two vehicles (none worthy of the collection was in Santa Cruz) and are for moving up to eight adults and three children, in a country of great distances and poor public transport.
Rent and sell houses, buy furniture, hire painters and gardeners; search revenues for investment in a warehouse which was due to the airline ... So pass the days Humberto Roca, president of AeroSur, turned-real estate developer in USA. - See more at: http://eju.tv/2012/07/exilio-roca-de-aviones-a-bienes-races/#sthash.o9SkMMSH.dpuf
