Owen Alfred, Oswin "Ozzy" Moore and Dexter extridition to U.K.

Alfred, Moore and Thomas are all charged with conspiracy to
transport some 13 kilogrammes of cocaine into the United
Kingdom during the period June 1, 2002 to August 31, 2006. Ten
men who are believed to have been involved in the illegal act
as well are currently serving a six to 22 years' imprisonment
in the UK.
McNicolls, sitting in the Port of Spain Eighth Magistrate's
Court, had earlier denied the men bail. He made the ruling
after hearing from David West, head of the Central Authority
Unit in the Office of the Attorney General.
West said the seriousness of the offence, treaty agreement
Trinidad and Tobago had with the UK, the associates of the
accused, strength of the evidence and the possibility that
they may flee custody if granted bail were the main reasons he
objected to bail.
Vashist Maharaj, who is representing Thomas and Moore, told
the court that Thomas has seven children to take care of,
while Moore has a sick son and a pregnant wife who suffers
from high blood pressure.
