Biography

Hatem Naji Fariz, 36, PIJ Tampa co-defendant; convicted on some counts; 37 months federal prison + 36 months supervised release.

2010s audit verified October 12, 2026: The official BOP locator identifies Hatem Naji Fariz, register 40941-018, and reports release May 26, 2010, correcting the one-day discrepancy. The number also appears in the historical support roster. Arrest in 2003 does not establish uninterrupted custody through 2010; the unsupported total was cleared. Sentencing and continuous admission dates remain unresolved.

Documented case history

A separate Northern District of Illinois judgment, case 1:04-cr-00633, records guilty pleas to wire fraud and money laundering and sentencing on August 18, 2006. The 51-month terms run concurrently with each other and with the Florida sentence in 8:03-CR-77-T-30TBM. These are not 51 additional months served after the Florida term. October 3, 2006 at 2 p.m. was an ordered surrender deadline, not proof of actual admission.
