SEVERAL hours after Prime Minister Bruce Golding was informed by the United States ambassador about a pending extradition request for Tivoli Gardens strongman Christopher 'Dudus' Coke, recordings were made of Coke discussing the matter with one of his alleged criminal conspirators.
Golding testified at the Dudus/Manatt commission of enquiry today that on the afternoon of October 29, 2009 he was informed by the US ambassador that a extradition request would be coming for Coke.
By 7:00 that evening a telephone call was intercepted in which Coke was being informed that an extradition request was on its way for him (Coke). The caller also raised concerns that an extradition request was on its way for him too.
The information forms part of an affidavit of a co-operating witness in the drug and gun-running case against Coke.
Attorney for People's National Party (PNP) member of parliament Peter Phillips, Patrick Atkinson, questioned Golding about the information.
However, the prime minister could not comment on the matter.
Atkinson asked Golding if it was a coincidence that Coke was having this conversation about the pending request on the same day he had been informed by the United States ambassador, but the question led to several objections from Hugh Small, the prime minister's attorney.

Suh all dem haffi duh is ask di breddah who inform Dudus what his source is.. coulda be di US Embassy... If Drivah did tip off Dudus den Dudus woulda be telling di breddah.. not the opposite !

Poor Drivah probably di last fi find out....and tink seh him ah keep big secret !

lol !

[Me]

That is what we need to start looking into. Who was it who told this unknown individual? was it Bruce? was it someone from Bruce's circle? was it someone from the embassy? The same way the authorities/foreigners wire tap phone lines, has the crime syndicate done the same thing?

Since the US is involved maybe we will find out the answer.

It wasn’t I’ - Prime Minister denies tipping off ‘Dudus’

PRIME Minister Bruce Golding yesterday rejected a suggestion that he had tipped off former Tivoli Gardens strongman Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke about the pending request for his extradition.

Golding testified during cross-examination at the Dudus/Manatt Commission of Enquiry yesterday that on the afternoon of October 29, 2007 he was informed by the then US ambassador to Jamaica that an extradition request would be coming for Coke.
Golding... said he did not know how the extradition document found its way into Coke’s Tivoli Gardens office.

According to a transcript of a telephone call that was read by attorney Patrick Atkinson (representing the People’s National Party’s Dr Peter Phillips) at the Commission, Coke, by 7:29 that evening, informed his co-accused that an extradition request was on its way for him (Coke). Coke, according to the document read by Atkinson, said that the person who gave him the information did not relay to him the details of the indictment.
The information forms part of an affidavit of a co-operating witness in the drug and gunrunning case against Coke in a New York court.
“So at 7:29 pm on October 29, 2007, few hours after the US ambassador spoke to you about this oncoming indictment, Mr Coke is on the phone discussing his knowledge [of the pending extradition request]. Any comment on that, Mr Golding?,” Atkinson asked.
“I have no comment to make on that,” Golding responded, before Atkinson quipped, “[Was it] a coincidence?”
“I can’t say,” said Golding. “And I don’t know where that information, if what is being said there is correct, I don’t know where that information would have come from.”
“It is coming from co-operating witness number one,” said Atkinson, prompting Golding to ask if the witness was speaking to Coke from Jamaica or the United States, as the location was important. But Atkinson retorted that what was important was Coke’s knowledge of the indictment.
“And it would be a mere coincidence that on the same day that the United States ambassador was telling you about this indictment, a few hours later Prezi is saying that somebody told him?” asked Atkinson.
“Mr Chairman,” Golding said, pausing briefly, “I can’t speak to what has been read.”
The prime minister had earlier yesterday morning denied that he had tipped off Coke when the extradition request arrived on August 25, 2009; and questioned who former police commissioner Hardley Lewin may have told about the request when it arrived prior to briefing him (Golding) and Security Minister Dwight Nelson. Golding, who spent his last day on the stand yesterday, also denied a suggestion that the legal questions concerning additional evidence, the names of confidential witnesses and questions about the Memoranda of Understanding between the US and Jamaica “were all red herrings” designed to cover up the real reason for the delay in signing the authority to proceed with the extradition process against Coke.
Meanwhile, Golding said he did not know how the extradition document found its way into Coke’s Tivoli Gardens office. The document was found during the May 2010 operation by the security forces. He said the document did not come from any Government member and that no one from the Jamaica Labour Party had access to the document.
At the same time, Golding refused to withdraw an earlier claim he had made that Isiah Parnell, the charge d'affaires at the United States Embassy in Kingston, had been harassing Justice Minister Dorothy Lightbourne over the request, despite being informed by Atkinson that harassment by telephone was a criminal offence in the US.
The next sitting of the enquiry is next week Friday, the deadline for attorneys to submit their written submissions. No further evidence is expected so far

who is Muadib?!? and why do you sound like the other hobbit creature?

[Mosiah]

I don't think wi hear the half on Manatt and Dudus. The freaking Golding set up an inquiry only to instruct his people to continue lying and deceiving. Or to squeal, I cannot recall. Farce!

The Prime Minister, should pack his bags, and go!

I was of the impression that all the useless speculations would be put to bed after this CoE ... but seeing that ppl reached a conclusion without getting the facts ... they'll have reasons to continue the careless talk.

[Rockman]

The statement from the US regarding Bruce reluctance to proceed with that extradition..was the PM failed to grab the opportunity to show his commitment to dismantle criminal networks, they would have us believe they speak with moral authority. I believe the US has evidence that can refute Bruce's lies, the same way they likely have evidence that agents of the state murdered a number of youths in TG. Their satellite images were so detailed;at least one showed at least one politician smoking weed.......

Actually the baldheaded one, Smith made the major impact with the AG. Atkinson and Knight would have her read various statutes, ask her opinion then after she responds, claim she doesn't have a clue.

LAwyers can look at the same law and have different opinions so what KD and Atkinson did was a "Sham", but of course because J'cans love the hype, they see it as she being incompetent.
