“Raffi wanted her nothing. She wasn’t gonna get a dime. Bart just happened to be the confidant and lawyer of Raffi, and did everything conniving behind his back. Sitting there, all you had to do was give the poison. She inherited that house — never paid a dime in taxes for it. They killed Raffi, paid peanuts for it, because that’s the deal they made. They thought they could hide it and get away with it all.”

In memoriam

Raffi Ceylan

also known as Rafi · Rafael · Rocky
(? – 16 July 2016 · Island Lake Road, Chapleau, Ontario)

The autopsy report bears the pathologist's signature dated FIVE DAYS BEFORE Raffi Ceylan was pronounced dead. The estate of CAD $600,000+ held with Sun Life was transferred to a non-family beneficiary on 19 September 2016, sixty-four days after the death. The testamentary instrument cut out his mother Betty Ceylan, his twin sister Lucy Ceylan, and his brother Armin Ceylan — the three people he supported his entire life. A second Empire Life corporate policy estimated at CAD $10 million has never been opened. The lawyer for the estate, Bart Segan, is married to the best friend of the beneficiary.

This page is the public evidence record. Every exhibit is embedded below. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice, Toronto Registry, has been asked to freeze CAD $510 million in defendant assets pending trial.

The Windsor Justice Trifecta. The three principal claimants are Francesco Giovanni Longo (living), the Estate of Raffi Ceylan (deceased 16 July 2016, represented by his family), and David Simetic (living), each bringing a parallel chapter of the same transnational conspiracy. The Groot family — Norman Groot, convicted in 1999 of obstruction of justice as a Peel Regional Police officer, and Dr. Emily Groot, Ontario's Chief Coroner during the 2016 Raffi Ceylan death investigation — is the cross-case family bridge tying the Simetic chapter to the Ceylan chapter.

The Four Smoking Guns

Exhibit 18 · Temporal Impossibility

The autopsy was signed five days BEFORE he died

Dr. Queen's signature on the autopsy report bears a date five days prior to Raffi Ceylan's pronounced date of death. A pathologist cannot autopsy a living man. This is forgery on the face of the document.

Exhibit 19 · Taped Admission

Bart Segan · 16 November 2016

On tape, the lawyer for the estate admits facts that were only knowable through direct communication with the beneficiary, Ivana Hrvatin. Bart Segan's wife is Ivana Hrvatin's best friend. The conflict of interest bridges the enterprise.

Exhibit 20 · 70-Minute Confession Call

Dan Potvin · Windsor Police Service

A seventy-minute recorded call with WPS Detective Dan Potvin contains a three-investigator admission of awareness. The recording is in the possession of Lucy Ceylan, who holds more than three hundred audio recordings of the investigation.

Exhibit 22 · Empire Life CAD $10M+

The second insurance policy nobody opened

Separate from Sun Life, an Empire Life corporate policy existed under Raffi Ceylan's authority. It has never been opened, never been paid out under anyone's verified direction, and never been acknowledged in the Sun Life beneficiary transfer. The Norwich Pharmacal Order sought in this matter targets full disclosure.
