FBI executes search Friday U.S. Attorney’s Office still working on materials that FBI seized The FBI confirmed there was a raid on Saipan last Friday, but refused to comment about the specific location. The Federal Bureau of Investigation in Honolulu affirmed over the weekend that its agents executed a search warrant on Saipan last Friday.

In his reply to inquiry about a reported raid, FBI media coordinator/special agent Jason K. White said he can confirm that the FBI executed a search warrant on Saipan Friday, but declined to comment further.

A Guam-based online website first reported that a house was raided Friday by the FBI and the Office of the Public Auditor. The subject of the raid is allegedly a former CIA secret agent

The website posted a photo showing a man wearing an OPA jacket talking to someone, while a woman was standing next to the door

We checked the house last Friday past 11am, but did not notice any FBI or OPA agents there. A resident and a maintenance personnel said they did not notice any FBI agents there that morning.

An employee said no FBI agents went to their office.

It is lclear the FBI indeed searched one of the units earlier that day and then left.

Meanwhile, a source disclosed over the weekend that the U.S. Attorney’s Office is still working through the materials that the FBI seized (not Friday’s raid) in connection with its ongoing investigation against the former CIA secret agent and several other persons.

The source said documents are being provided to the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office per the subpoena to all the people covered in the investigation.
