Michigan couple arrested in Mexico for alleged fraud

A Michigan couple has been arrested in Mexico for allegedly scamming a hospitality company. Navy veteran Paul Akeo and his wife Christy were detained without bail on March 4 as they arrived in Cancun. Prosecutors say they face multiple fraud charges related to their timeshare membership. The couple reportedly disputed over $117,000 in credit card charges linked to their stay at a Cancun resort. They are accused of advertising their accommodations on social media while not using them and making numerous bookings during their membership. The Palace Company claims the couple violated their contract and engaged in fraudulent behavior. They are now facing legal proceedings, and a Mexican judge has ordered them to remain in custody. Their family has requested assistance from the U.S. government.
