Cesar Altieri Sayoc, the Florida man arrested for allegedly sending pipe bombs to prominent Democratic and media figures across the USA recently which includes Obama, Clinton, Soros, former attorney general Eric H. Holder Jr. and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), claims Filipino descent.
The suspect says his grandfather was a prominent surgeon in the Philippines, while his cousin said Sayoc’s father is Filipino and his mother is Italian.
The white van he used to throw pipe bombs is covered with images of Trump and Mike Pence. It also had faces of Hillary Clinton, film-maker Michael Moore and CNN’s Van Jones, with target symbols over their faces.
Ronald Lowy, Sayoc’s family lawyer, said he believed Sayoc was mentally ill. If convicted, he will face 48 years of imprisonment.
Public records that the media has, revealed that the suspect has outstanding cases of “grand theft in the third degree” in 1991 and was sentenced for threats to “throw, place, project or discharge any destructive device” in 2012.
In May 2014, Sayoc pleaded no contest to felony charges of grand theft and battery in Broward County, according to court filings.
Meanwhile, Presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo said that their perverted desire to spread terror is what makes the terrorist and not their ancestry or nationality.
“Terrorists know no race or ethnicity. They could be of any nationality or a descendant of any nationality,” Panelo said on a statement.
