Warrants have been issued for the immediate arrest of Antoinette Haughton
Cardenas. The former talk show host and attorney-at-law is now considered a fugitive after arrest warrants were issued recently when she failed to appear in criminal courts in Kingston and St. Thomas to answer to several counts of fraud.
The former attorney is accused of stealing millions of dollars from several of her
clients. Defence attorney Terrence Ballentine confirmed that arrest warrants have been issued for his client who is now overseas.

Mr. Ballentine declined to state Mrs. Haughton Cardenas' location but police sources
said that they have received reports that she now lives in Cuba. It is understood that Mrs Haughton Cardenas left the island shortly after she was released on bail late last year.

The presiding magistrate had failed to issue a Stop Order which allowed her to leave the country without the knowledge of the police.
It was reported that she had gone abroad to seek medical treatment for a long list of ailments. But Superintendent Colbert Edwards, Head of the Fraud Squad, said Mrs. Haughton Cardenas is wanted.

He said his office has several outstanding cases against the former attorney who was disbarred by the General Legal Council in September last year.
The Disciplinary Committee of the General Legal Council had ordered that she be struck from the list of attorneys licensed to practice in Jamaica after she was found guilty of misappropriating the funds of one of her clients.
