BVI PORTS DIRECTOR GETS 9 YEARS 4 MONTHS FOR HER ROLE IN EX-PREMIER ANDREW FAHIE'S COCAINE & MONEY LAUNDERING CASE IN MIAMI

OLEANVINE MAYNARD, the former Director of the British Virgin Islands Port Authority, and a key player in former Premier Andrew Fahie's scheme to give cocaine in transit to the United States a temporary safe harbor in the BVI, has been sentenced in US District Court in Miami to 112 months in Federal Prison; her son, co-defendant KADEEM MAYNARD, was already sentenced in the case, and is now serving a term of 57 months.

The principal defendant, ANDREW FAHIE, at the time of the crime the serving Premier of the BVI, will be sentenced on August 5. His attorney is seeking the ten year minimum mandatory; Fahie could spend the rest of his life behind bars, in a case that unnerved all of his East Caribbean political allies and friends, who fear that he will cooperate against corruption which he has first-hand knowledge of, to mitigate his ultimate sentence.
