ALEX SAAB MORAN'S UPCOMING RETURN TO U.S. CUSTODY HAS BEEN GIVING CERTAIN CARIBBEAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS SLEEPLESS NIGHTS

Given that the consensus of opinion among those senior American officials who speak to the press anonymously is that ALEX NAIN SAAB MORAN, the Colombian money launderer who served the highest echelon in former President NICOLAS MADURO's Sol narcotics cartel, will sooner or later be extradited from Venezuela, in some sort of backroom deal, a number of Caribbean leaders in Antigua and Barbuda are most certainly having sleepless nights.

Saab, who received both an Antiguan diplomatic as well as a CBI passport, moved major amounts of criminal profits through the two offshore Antiguan banks that he owned, as well as the local GLOBAL BANK OF COMMERCE, with the active assistance of his close friend, Prime Minister & Minister of Finance GASTON BROWNE, and a number of members of his cabinet. All of them fear the cooperation Saab will most likely render to American law enforcement, to avoid a life sentence for money laundering and terrorist financing. In fact, the recent Snap Election called and conducted by Browne took place to insure that he was reinstalled as Head of State in Antigua; whether that is a Get Out of Jail Free Card is debatable though, given Maduro's arrest and presumed ultimate fate.

For those who are concerned that the previous American Pardon extended to Saab, when he was exchanged for ten American hostages, take a look at the fine print; his subsequent criminal activities render it absolutely void, and of not further force and effect. Meanwhile, Antigua's corrupt leadership is reportedly looking over the shoulder, and fearing the proverbial visit by an American Special Forces team dedicated to their arrest and removal to a Federal Courtroom in Manhattan.
