Warner to return to court on Friday
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) — Attorney General Faris Al Rawi yesterday insisted he would not discuss the extradition case involving former FIFA vice president Austin Jack Warner in public as a senior magistrate adjourned the matter to Friday.
Warner, who is wanted in the United States on 12 offences related to racketeering, corruption and money laundering allegedly committed in the jurisdiction of the United States and Trinidad and Tobago, dating as far back as 1990, left the magistrate court building without speaking to reporters.
The former international football official is on TT$2.5 million bail and has already surrendered his travel documents and reports to the police twice weekly as part of his bail conditions.
Last week, Al Rawi is reported to have requested Chief Magistrate Marcia Ayres-Caesar to vary her order that the authority to proceed be extended so as to allow him more time to review the extradition documents.
