English translation of the document left by Rodrigo Rosenberg Marzano – according to what was published in Spanish on May 11, 2009 in Guatemalan newspapers El Periodico, Prensa Libre –
“If you are reading this message it is because I Rodrigo Rosenberg Marzano have been murdered by Gustavo Alejos, the President´s Private Secretariat and his partner Gregorio Valdez, with the approval of Alvaro Colom (The President) and Sandra de Colom (The First Lady).
The reason why Gustavo Alejos and Gregorio Valdez have ordered my death and the President of the Republic, Alvaro Colom approved it, is because until the day they killed me, I was the lawyer of two incredible Guatemalans, Mr. Khalil Musa and his daughter Marjorie Musa, and I knew exactly how Alvaro Colom, Sandra de Colom, Gustavo Alejos and Gregorio Valdez were responsible for that cowardly murder, and I told them so and told those who wanted and could hear.
I was a 47 year old Guatemalan, with 4 divine children, with the best brother one could ask life for, with incredible friends, who wanted very much to live in my country, but I could not have lived with myself without rebelling, being brave and denouncing to all Guatemalans that have principles and values about the real reasons for the death of Mr. Kahlil Musa and his daughter Marjorie Musa, with no regards to the consequences and in the understanding that my life was in danger I wanted to leave this testament in case something happened to me and it unfortunately did.
Alvaro Colom, by means of Gustavo Alejos and Gregorio Valdez asked Mr. Khalil Musa for his collaboration so he would form a part of the board of directors of Banrural in an ad honorem fashion, Mr. Khalil Musa did not suspect of the millionaire illegal businesses that are done every day in Banrural, those businesses go from money laundering to deviating public funds to inexistent programs of the first lady Sandra de Colom, as well as financing to shell companies used by drugtraffickers.
It is Alvaro Colom in agreement with Gustavo Alejos and Gregorio Valdez that retain the already signed appointment of Mr. Khalil Musa, without him knowing about it, for more than 3 months, because they did not have any intention of having him assume as Director, they only used his good name with the argument that if new power cuotas were not distributed Mr. Khalil would denounce, when he discovered, the corruption with which the general manager of Banrural, Mr. Fernando Peña, manages the bank at his own pleasure to the service of Mrs. Sandra de Colom and as a partner and financier with the bank´s funds of the businesses of Gregorio Valdez and Gustavo Alejos, without the President of the Bank, Mr. Jose Angel Lopez doing anything to prevent that Fernando Peña converts Banrural into the cave of robbers, drug traffickers and murderers it is today.
With the impunity that we Guatemalans have granted in the past years to the robbers and murderers in this country, Jose Angel Lopez, Fernando Peña and the coward Gerardo de Leon, in a direct fashion threaten and intimidate Mr. Khalil Musa, a few weeks before his and his daughter´s murder, so that he resigns his appointment and Mr. Khalil Musa tells them, as the gentleman he always was, that he had no problem if the appointment was cancelled, since whom asked him to accept the appointment was Gustavo Alejos and Gregorio Valdez in agreement with our splendid president Alvaro Colom and his permanent shadow Sandra de Colom.
Mr. Khalil Musa informs Gustavo Alejos and Alvaro Colom of his decision not to participate in the board of Banrural in order to avoid problems, but they told him to please give them time, since everything was resolved without having an idea that once the robbers and the murderers agreed he would be murdered along with his daughter Marjorie Musa (who´s only sin was to be an exemplary daughter that always accompanied her father) because he had already fulfilled his purpose, without caring about anything and with the complete tranquility of knowing that good Guatemalans, once again would do absolutely nothing, justifying their inaction in the impotence that hounds us or simply saying “they were surely involved in something”.
Without any principle or moral value and without the most minimum sense of shame, Gustavo Alejos personally, after trying to make up other hypothesis that nobody accepted because of the moral quality of those murdered, tells the family of Mr. Khalil Musa and of his daughter Marjorie Musa, that unfortunately they had been murdered because of the horrible problems that exist in Banrural, going so much so that the President Alvaro Colom himself invites a political relative of Mr. Khalil Musa to his office to confirm what had been said by his Private Secretary.
Now you can understand why neither Alvaro Colom nor Gustavo Alejos were not careful not to publically declare what they told the family of Mr. Khalil Musa and his daughter Marjorie Musa and gave the order to the incompetent and corrupt Ministry of the Interior and the inexistent Prosecutor General to leave, once again, this cowardly murder unsolved, as happens with all murders, robberies and violations that have our country plunged into its worst period.
Day by day this story is repeated and fills with pain one more family in our Guatemala, while good Guatemalans decide to look the other way and pray that nothing happens to us.
That´s enough, lets rescue our country from the robbers, the assassins, the drugtrafickers and let´s all together recover our Guatemala, our values and our faith in justice and kick out the current puppet we have for a president and put into jail the robbers and assassins, starting with Gustavo Alejos, Gregorio Valdez, Fernando Peña and Gerardo de León, among others, and once and for all demand the resignation of all current members of our congress, that with a very few and honorable exceptions are robbers and let’s start again for the love of God and our country.
Surely the cowards will defend themselves by trying to stain the memory of Mr. Khalil Musa or his daughter Marjorie Musa and will try to convince Guatemalans that all of this is a new plot, but in the end, the only truth that matters is that if you read this message it´s because I Rodrigo Rosenberg Marzano was murdered by Gustavo Alejos and Gregorio Valdez with the approval of Mr. Alvaro Colom and Sandra Colom for refusing to allow the most cowardly and vile murder of two incredible people as were Mr. Khalil Musa and his daughter Marjorie Musa it to become one more statistic, and continue to deliver my country to the cowardly assassins, robbers and drug traffickers that actually govern it.

P.S.//To the Vice President of the Republic Dr. Rafael Espada I remind you that those who are silent consent and that you are not robber or assassin, you must be the first one to lead a movement to recover our Guatemala and have the law fulfilled with the help of all the good Guatemalans that support you without reservations.”
