Article by December 29, 2020
Former Government minister Donville Inniss, who was convicted of money laundering in the ICBL affair, said Monday he is not paying much attention to the news that the US is seeking to have his alleged co-conspirator Alex Tasker extradited to face the same charges.
Inniss, once a star minister in the Freundel Stuart administration, responsible for industry, international business, commerce and small business development has maintained his innocence, even as he awaits sentencing in four months’ time. He was convicted in a US federal court on January 16 of money laundering conspiracy and two counts of money laundering related to bribe payments received from ICBL in order to secure Government contracts.
