Extradition request for JLP strongman will test Gov’t’s poli

<span style="font-weight: bold">Extradition request for JLP strongman will test Gov’t’s political will says Bunting </span>
Thursday, 27 August 2009

Pressure is being placed on National Security Minister Senator Dwight Nelson to comment on reports that the American authorities have requested that an area leader in a stronghold of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) be extradited to the United States (US).

There are reports that the strongman, who has significant ties with the governing party, is wanted in the US on various criminal charges.

The People's National Party (PNP) says the gravity of the situation calls for an official statement from the National Security Minister.

According to Peter Bunting, Opposition spokesman on National Security, the PNP will be closely watching the Government's handling of the matter:

&quot;I've tried to call the minister to ascertain the details around it but I've been unsuccessful but really, I'm calling on him to make a statement to the country so we can know whether this is a rumour or if it's accurate. If it is accurate, then it's going to be a test of this administration's political will,&quot; he said.

A senior police source confirmed in an interview with RJR News that that the strongman is wanted by the US authorities.

He told RJR News that an order was issued for his extradition.

However, up to late Wednesday night it had not been signed by Jamaican officials.

The police source did not disclose the criminal allegations which have been made against the JLP activist.

Short of him fleeing the country, Dudus is a gonner, it just a matter of time. He could possibly have been given up by extradited &quot;drug king pin&quot; Norris &quot;Deedo&quot; Nembhard? He was looking at 25 to life and entered into a plea bargain with the DOJ for a reduced sentence. He is supposed to have given a list of names including a senior JCF officer.

I dont see any reason why the Jamaican gov cannot deny the request,it is after all one of their subjects,is the reciprocal extradition arrangements with the US fair to jamaica when and if they request an american citizen for extradition to jamaica...?

If the courts are the body that has the last say in the matter then they have a choice to deny the extradition based on the evidence against this man put forward by the US,there should be certain criterias met before any extradition be considered,and if the jamaican courts are not satisfied by the evidence,or these criterias not met, then they CAN refuse the extradition.
jamaica is a sovereign country,it is under no obligation to extradite any of its citizens to a foreign power based on flimsy evidence.

Dudus is a big fish in a small pond, why would the GOJ refuse to extradite him and harm their relationship with Uncle Sam? Like many before him, he'll be sacrificed at the alter of expediency.

that is the very reason why these low down dirty criminals get away with murder in our country. Because they use fear and terror tactics to keep us in submission. Suppose men like Martin Luther King were afraid of what white people would have done to them, we would still be living in cowardice to this day.


The Jamaican govt need to step up to the plate and stopbeing yellow belly bottom feeding cowards.

US GOVERNMENT WANTS 'DUDUS' Extradition request filed

NEWS

US GOVERNMENT WANTS 'DUDUS'
Extradition request filed for Tivoli don
Friday, August 28, 2009
Foreign Affairs Minister Kenneth Baugh yesterday confirmed that the US Government has formally requested the extradition of influential Tivoli Gardens don and businessman, Christopher 'Dudus' Coke.
&quot;The Government has been notified and discussions are taking place. It is principally the prerogative of the Ministry of Justice and the Attorney General's office,&quot; Baugh told the Observer.
Extradition requests are first sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs which must pass them on to the Ministry of Justice and the Attorney General. The documents eventually end up on the desk of the Director of Public Prosecutions who will rule if arrest warrants must be drawn up.
Coke is allegedly wanted on drug trafficking and conspiracy charges.
Prominent attorney, Tom Tavares-Finson, who has represented Coke and his family in the past, told the Observer yesterday that he had no idea what his client was wanted for as Coke had no connections with the United States.
&quot;I don't know what they want him for. I don't have any access to the documents yet,&quot; Tavares-Finson said.
Tavares-Finson also said he was not sure if Coke would turn himself in.
Under the Extradition Treaty, accused persons do not have to sell illicit drugs in the US to be convicted in that country.
In January, Norris 'Deedo' Nembhard, who was extradited to the US in July last year, pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges in a Florida court.
Nembhard had contended that he had never travelled to the United States but was convicted on the evidence of a man who claimed to have been trafficking drugs for him and other persons.
Nembhard, who was designated by former US president George W Bush as a drug kingpin, was extradited along with brothers, Glenroy and Robroy 'Spy' Williams, Vivian Dalley and former police corporal Herbert 'Scarry' Henry.
The man who gave evidence against Nembhard was Williams' nephew, who was held in international waters aboard a go-fast boat laden with over 1,000 kilograms of cocaine.
He was reportedly offered a plea bargain deal by the US authorities and gave up his former cronies.
Yesterday, a highly placed Observer source said the request for Coke's arrest and extradition is one of many to come.
The Drug Enforcement Agency has reportedly been probing the activities of senior politicians, police officers and sportsmen who are allegedly involved in the illegal trade of contraband.
Coke is the son of Lester Lloyd Coke, popularly known as 'Jim Brown', who died in February 1992 in a mysterious fire which broke out in his cell at the Tower Street Adult Correctional Centre.
'Jim Brown' was held by local cops after the US Government requested his extradition for a series of crimes committed in that country.
Along with his confidante, Vivian Blake, 'Jim Brown' was accused of running a multi-million-dollar drug-dealing gang known as the Shower Posse, which wreaked havoc in several major US cities.
According to the US authorities, the Shower Posse was responsible for more than 1,000 murders and gained the name because of its members' habit of spraying their victims with bullets.
Blake has since been released from prison in the US, after spending eight years, and deported.
In October 2005, Coke was held and charged with possession of ganja when police raided his lavish upper St Andrew residence.
