ARE MORE CARIBBEAN MONEY LAUNDERING AND NARCOTICS TRAFFICKING INDICTMENTS COMING OUT OF THE ANDREW FAHIE INVESTIGATION?

Matthias Krull

It has been noted in Caribbean media that the two lesser co-defendants in the money laundering and narcotics trafficking case in US District Court against disgraced former British Virgin Islands Premier ANDREW FAHIE received extraordinary reductions in their sentences, and were quietly, and without publicity, released from Federal Prison. Given that the only other time we have seen such major sentence reductions in SDFL in recent years was just once, in the case against the money laundering Swiss banker MATTHIAS KRULL (of Julius Baer Group Ltd.), we must assume that their Substantial Assistance reached a level of facilitating subsequent indictments of other offenders.

Given that these additional defendants would currently all be residing outside the United States, any indictments handed down by a Grand Jury would be sealed pending their apprehension. Remember when the Iranian sanctions evader REZA ZARRAB arrived in Miami with his family, intent upon a visit to Disney World, only to find himself arrested due to a sealed indictment? Expect the same thing, in spades, should any of these targets deign to enter America. We shall be watching for news of such "unexpected" arrests again.
