My phone rang on Thursday at about noon. The caller was a source that I have had about three years now. The person operated abroad and had close links to one of the US security organisations involved in investigating drugs, guns and the offshoots like money laundering.
“I will call you back on Thursday night. I should get some confirmation on that earlier matter we had spoken about,” he said.
COKE… facing drug and gun-running charges in the US

Weeks ago he had furnished me with the information that one player whose name was likely to surface in any sort of plea bargaining that Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke was likely to seek was<span style="font-weight: bold"> a relatively young Kingston-based businessman with ties to the entertainment/hospitality industry.</span> He had said then, “Our organisation has been looking at him for some time now. It is the usual, Mark — conspicuous wealth, his associations and their sources of wealth. We have established that there was a likely connection.”
I waited all through Thursday night. On Friday morning at about six o’ clock he called. “Hope I didn’t wake you,” he said.
“Wake me?” I said. “I spent the entire night waiting for your call. I am up.”
“Well, it is my understanding that the man’s name is going to be called. And it may also involve a political leader, though not from Jamaica,” he said.
He gave me the political leader’s name, a man I met briefly a few years ago while he was in Jamaica on official business. A regional man and relatively young too.
“<span style="font-weight: bold">Have you any information on the local cadre of personalities, in business, politics, etc that he is likely to sing on?” I asked.
“Not now, Mark, but I’ll keep you posted</span>,” he said.
