The Caribbean Court of Justice has cleared the way for former executive of the Insurance Corporation of Barbados (ICBL) Alex Tasker to be extradited to the United States to face money laundering and conspiracy to launder money charges.
This country’s highest court of appeal today rejected Tasker’s application for special leave to challenge the September 2021 order of Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes that he be surrendered to the US authorities.
The CCJ panel of justices ruled that Tasker’s application for special leave to appeal the magistrate’s court decision did not meet the necessary requirements and so it was dismissed.
