The Economist’s Seeking Mr. Coke article not good for JA

Jamaica is getting more negative publicity in the wake of the government's refusal to sign an extradition request for West Kingston strongman Christopher "Dudus" Coke.


A little over a week after the highly controversial issue was placed in the international spotlight via a US State Department report, the widely circulated The Economist magazine has brought more attention.

On Thursday, The magazine published a report which claimed that the American authorities have become more frustrated with the Government's foot dragging in granting a US request to hand over Mr. Coke to answer gun and drug running charges.

The article titled "Seeking Mr. Coke," places the country in an extremely negative light as it outlines among other things the close connection between Mr. Coke and the governing Jamaica Labour Party.

ImageThe no holds barred report says the US Justice Department has put Mr. Coke on its world's most dangerous list, accusing him of directing drug deals as far away as New York.

It goes on to state that if American allegations of political links are well-founded, some Jamaican public figures may fear that Mr. Coke's arrest would lead to the disclosure of embar****ing information.

According to the Economist, it is rumoured that Mr. Coke has deposited incriminating documents with lawyers, to be released in the event of his untimely death.

However, it noted that in pressing for Mr. Coke's extradition, the United States must also be aware of the risk that his arrest could further destabilise Jamaica which has already been racked by drugs-related violence.
