U.S. Requests Extradition Of Former FIFA Exec Jack Warner From Trinidad & Tobago

Official documentation requesting the extradition of former FIFA VP Jack Warner "has been delivered" to Trinidad & Tobago's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, according to Denyse Renne of the TRINIDAD EXPRESS. Sources said that around midday Saturday the package was "dropped off via courier" and was sent to Central Authority head Netram Kowlessar on Sunday. The package, sources said, "also gives detailed listings" of the alleged offenses against Warner, who is wanted on "wire fraud, racketeering and money laundering charges." Trinidad & Tobago Attorney General Garvin Nicholas said that he is unaware that the U.S. Department of Justice "had sent the necessary paperwork for the commencement of extradition proceedings." Sources said that extradition proceedings "ought to come through diplomatic channels and this would be through Foreign Affairs and then sent to the Central Authority." It has been a month since a "provisional warrant was issued for the arrest of Warner." He is currently on $2.5M bail after "surrendering himself to Fraud Squad officers on May 27 after learning the warrant had been issued for his arrest" (TRINIDAD EXPRESS, 6/28).

WARNER HIRES FITZGERALD: The PA reported Warner has "hired the lawyer who represented the Moors murderer Myra Hindley in his fight against extradition" to the U.S. Edward Fitzgerald confirmed he is "advising Warner and his legal team in Trinidad." Significantly, Fitzgerald has "also represented the Trinidad businessman Steve Ferguson, who has successfully resisted extradition" to the U.S. for the last 10 years (PA, 6/30).
