After being captured and arrested at a police vehicle checkpoint outside of Kingston, Jamaica earlier this week, Christopher “Dudus” Coke has been extradited to New York where he will face drug trafficking charges. He appeared in court on Friday, and has entered a plea of Not Guilty.
On Wednesday, Coke agreed to waive extradition. He said he was saddened by the deaths and hoped his departure would help his country heal.
“I take this decision for I now believe it to be in the best interest of my family, the community of western Kingston and in particular the people of Tivoli Gardens and above all Jamaica,” Coke said in a statement released to the news media, his first public comments since the extradition request in August.
The U.S. indictment alleges that, since 1994, members of Coke’s gang in Jamaica and their U.S. counterparts “have sold narcotics, including marijuana and crack cocaine, at Coke’s direction.” It says that cooperators have recorded phone conversations with Coke about shipments of drugs and handguns.
At his extradition hearing at a military outpost in Kingston, the Caribbean nation’s capital, Coke expressed confidence that he will be found innocent and allowed to return to his family in Jamaica.
I think this is going to open up “a can of worms”…
