Former vice-president of the Insurance Corporation of Barbados Ltd. Alex Tasker was ordered extradited to the United States to face charges of money laundering by the District “A” Magistrates’ Court yesterday.
But the United States cannot touch him in the next 15 days and his attorney, Queen’s Counsel Andrew Pilgrim, has declared he will challenge the extradition order at the Court of Appeal.
Tasker remains on bail until he appears before that appeals court as Acting Director of Public Prosecutions, Alliston Seale, did not object to his release.
The United States had asked that Tasker, of Mayfair Terrace, Leadvale, Christ Church, be extradited to face trial for conspiracy to launder money and two counts of money laundering between August 2015 and April 2016. (HLE)
