Dudus sentence appropriate — Bunting
MINISTER of National Security Peter Bunting hailed the 23-year sentence given to Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke as appropriate.
“It was appropriate for him to get the maximum available given the evidence presented in court. If not for the plea bargain, Coke would have been lucky to avoid spending life behind bars,” Bunting said “It sends an important signal to criminal kingpins, who think they can operate with impunity, and to the broader society that no one is above the law.”
Bunting also praised the team of local and US law enforcement officials, who relentlessly pursued the Coke investigation and prosecution, notwithstanding attempts to frustrate their efforts.
