Puerto Rican Machero Ties Lead To Bronx Subpoenas
A few days before Christmas, two men walked into Julio Pabon’s sports memorabilia store on E.149th St. in the South Bronx.
One of them identified himself as an FBI agent; the other was from the Joint Terrorism Task Force of the NYPD.
“We’re looking for Julio Pabon,” one said.
“Which one, father or son?” replied the store’s employee.
They wanted to ask the younger Pabon “some questions,” the men said before leaving a business card.
A few days later, Julio Antonio Pabon, a 27-year-old budding filmmaker and graduate of Wesleyan University in Connecticut, called the phone number on the card and arranged a meeting. He was accompanied by his mother.
This time there was one detective and two FBI agents, including one from San Juan. They showed the young man 20 photos of Hispanic-looking individuals and asked if he knew any of them.
