Legal Problems
On April 30, 2012, McAfee's property in Orange Walk Town, Belize, was raided by the Gang Suppression Unit. A GSU press release stated that he was arrested for unlicensed drug manufacturing and possession of an unlicensed weapon.. He was released without charge after being detained for a few hours. In 2012, Belize police spokesman Raphael Martinez confirmed that he was not convicted nor charged but only suspected.
On November 12, 2012, Belize police started a search for McAfee as a "person of interest" in connection to the murder of American expatriate Gregory Viant Faull. Faull was found dead of a gunshot wound on November 10, 2012, at his home on the island of Ambergris Caye. Faull was a neighbor of McAfee. No one has been formally charged. In an interview with Wired, McAfee maintains his innocence. He also says that he is afraid the police will kill him and refused routine questions with police. Belize prime minister Dean Barrow called McAfee "extremely paranoid, even bonkers."
