Application denied BY Privy Council: By ARTESIA DAVIS, Guardian Senior Reporter - Nassau, Bahamas: The Privy Council yesterday refused an application by alleged drug dealers Dwight and Keva Major for permission to file a challenge to a court's order that they be sent to Miami, Florida to face drug charges. Former foreign affairs minister Fred Mitchell signed a warrant of surrender last year authorizing the couple's extradition after their lawyer failed to file an appeal to the Privy Council within the required time. And now the Privy Council has declined to grant lawyer Keod Smith special permission to file an appeal to its judicial committee more than a year after the Court of Appeal's decision. Now the only thing preventing the couple's extradition is a stay that was filed in the Supreme Court to prevent Bahamian authorities from executing the warrant of surrender. Bernard Turner, the director of public prosecutions, said once the stay is removed "The law will take its

Kozeny extradition order overturn: By ARTESIA DAVIS, Guardian Senior Reporter - Nassau, Bahamas: A judge overturned the extradition order against Czech businessman Viktor Kozeny, on the grounds that crimes for which his extradition was sought were not illegal in The Bahamas. And the judge also concluded the United States' government's failure to disclose material beneficial to Kozeny made the request an abuse of process. But Kozeny is not in the clear yet. Prosecutors intend to appeal the decision of Supreme Court Justice Jon Isaacs. Justice Isaacs delivered his 59-page judgment on Wednesday. Kozeny, who is better known as "The Pirate of Prague", is wanted in New York on charges of plotting to bribe government officials in the former Soviet Republic of Azerbaijan. He was charged in a 27-count indictment in US District Court in Manhattan in October 2005. Kozeny was held in prison from his arrest on Oct. 5, 2005 until April 2007 when he was freed on $300,000 bail. The indictm

Extradition Appeal Dismissed: By Quincy Parker - Nassau, Bahamas: The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council has laid out the reasons underpinning the high court’s decision to dismiss the appeal against extradition for seven Bahamian men facing drug charges in the United States. The dismissal of the appeal on July 24, 2007 cleared the way for committal proceedings of the men to proceed without further delay. Trevor Thomas Roberts, Devroy Moss, Sheldon Athelston Moore, Lionel and Linden Deal, Shanto Curry and Gordon Newbold were arrested in 2004 following an extradition request by the United States. The men were suspected of having committed drug trafficking offences. After laying out the arguments presented by Maurice Glinton, the law lords dismissed them quite bluntly. "Their lordships are of the opinion that there is no merit in any of Mr. Glinton’s arguments," the ruling said. "There has already been an inordinate delay in these cases, due to the time that disposing of th

Singapore needs to have the ET(extradition treaty) for at least five reasons. First, Singapore, as has been reiterated by many of its leaders, wants to project the image that it is a clean international financial hub. This amid the international business community's knowledge that many Indonesian white-collar criminals have taken refuge in Singapore, bringing their assets with them.Second, the ET will enable Singapore to erase its image in Indonesia as a safe heaven for many of Indonesia's corrupt officials and economic criminals. If Singapore ratifies the ET, there would no longer be a basis for such accusations.Third, ratifying the ET would mean that Singapore is a friend to Indonesia. Of course, this would not be the first time. The city-state assisted Indonesia in the aftermath of the tsunami and when the regional economic crisis struck in 1998. Fourth, ratifying the ET is in line with ASEAN solidarity. As members of ASEAN, bilateral ties between Singapore and Indonesia should n

Indonesia believes the bankers took part in an astounding heist of more than US$13.5 billion looted from the Indonesian central bank’s recapitalization lifeline to 48 ailing banks. According to Indonesian authorities, the recipient banks, many owned by cronies and relatives of the ousted strongman Suharto, used much of the money for currency speculation, loans to affiliated business groups and repayment of subordinated loans and securities transactions instead of guaranteeing creditors’ deposits.But more than that, an astounding 18,000 Indonesians considered to be worth more than US$1 million are living in Singapore, population 4.5 million, with an aggregate wealth of US$87 billion, according to a 2006 study, the “Asia-Pacific Wealth Report” by Merrill Lynch and the consulting company Capgemini. Indonesia, with a population of 180 million, has only 17,000 millionaires itself.The city-state has always been a bolt-hole for Indonesian tycoons, many of them Chinese, a step ahead of
