I was a victim of serious international crime. Where can I go in Indiana for legal and financial assistance?

Question

This is complicated. I was held captive by criminal terrorists while I was in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. The hotel and a world bank was complicit in the plot. My travelers' checks were physically wrestled from me ($8000.00. I was taken to a bank and was forced to sign the checks. My cash, watch, cameras, a recorder. were stolen. I was poisoned. I was kept to a hotel room for 6 days. They wished for me to turn over my passport, and sign some strange documents. I refused, even after they threatened to lock me in a wooden box. The American Embassy rescued me and assisted me in many ways.

Before leaving the US, I went to my cell phone company. I was given assurance my cell phone would operate in Burkina Faso. As soon as I arrived in France I noticed I had "no network." Due to the fact I had no means to communicate with the outside world, I became a victim. The hotel had disconnected my telephone, refused to call the police, or allow me to contact the Embassy. There is much more!

Answer 1

The American Embassy would still be your best contact, especially because they were aware of the problem when they rescued you. They have already assisted you, and likely will know what steps you need to take now.

I am not certain that you would need to go the the Burkina Faso Embassy in America first -- I think it would be best for you to go there with a government representative to help you press for reparation.

Answer 2

I think you should try to contact the Department of State in the US government for two reasons:

1. They would know how to tackle these international crimes.
2. The US Embassy which rescued you in Burkina Faso belongs to the Department of State.

I suggest you start at their site:

www.state.gov
