THE extradition hearing for Christopher 'Dudus' Coke has been set for tomorrow by  Director of Public Prosecutions, Paula Llewellyn according to a release from the Press Association of Jamaica.

The hearing is set to be held within the secure confines of the Mobile Reserve in order to avoid any untoward action by Coke's sympathisers.

Coke has reportedly expressed his intention to waive his right to an extradition hearing and face his accusers in the United States without delay.

If a local magistrate's grants him his wish then he could be handed over to United States marshals in short order and flown out to New York.

He is accused of drugs and gun running by the US authorities. If found guilty he could be locked up for life and have his assets seized.
