Article by January 20, 2021
The extradition case against businessman Alex Theodore Tasker is an “urgent matter” but certain adjustments would have to be made given the “sensitive time” the country is currently experiencing given the COVID-19 health crisis.
Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes made the comments after adjourning the case against the 60-year-old Tasker until February 11 and 16.
The decision was taken following submissions by Tasker’s defence attorneys of Andrew Pilgrim Q.C. and Neville Reid and the Crown’s team of Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Aliston Seale and Senior Crown Counsel Oliver Thomas.
Tasker was brought before the law court on December 28, 2020 following a request for his extradition to the United States of America to stand trial on money laundering charges.
