Contact with CoP Mark Collins among others form phone evidence in Fahie trial
The US Virgin Islands-based St Thomas News Source indicated that W. Smith, R. Sylvester, M. Vanterpool are some of the people Fahie corresponded with shortly before his arrest on narcotics smuggling and money laundering charges, according to court records filed Wednesday, January 17, 2024.
The publication noted that while the call list of Fahie’s and alleged co-conspirator Oleanvine Pickering-Maynard’s isn’t an indication of any wrongdoing, prosecutors thought the phone records were important enough to include as evidence.
Top Cop Mark Collins on list
More names appearing on the list include C. Maritza, B. Sylvester, D. Osborne, C. Kettle, and R. Garaway, with just a first initial and a surname with the exception being Royal Virgin Islands Police Force Commissioner of Police (CoP), Mark Collins and another person.
Former Governor John J. Rankin, CMG recently launched an investigation into the Police Commissioner, Mark Collins, over an unrelated matter concerning a petition raised against him with some 55 allegations against the CoP.
Commissioner of the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service, Kurt Walton has been tasked to review the myriad of complaints against the Police Commissioner, and in a recent interview, Mr Rankin said Mr Walton has been given Terms of Reference to investigate any aspect of the petition, but it was the leaked email matter that was particularly concerning to him
A recent leaked email out of the force suggested Mr Collins requested senior ranks of the RVIPF to destroy certain evidence relevant to a matter involving a now-retired officer.
Case set to being January 22, 2024
Meanwhile, the content of Fahie and Pickering Maynard’s phone calls, text messages, and WhatsApp messages likely won’t be known until the Monday, January 22, 2024, trial the St Thomas News Source detailed. Pickering-Maynard, the former BVI Ports Authority Managing Director, is scheduled to testify against Fahie in the case.
Already having pleaded guilty, her son Kadeem was sentenced to 51 months in prison and his mother will learn her fate in February after a similar guilty plea.
Both Fahie and co-defendant Pickering-Maynard were arrested separately in Miami; however, arrested with Pickering-Maynard was another person identified in court records only as R.S. In the days leading up to the arrests, Pickering-Maynard called and sent messages to two numbers belonging to “R. Sylvester,” one to a VI number and one to a US number.
More to be revealed in court
Fahie and the Maynards allegedly planned to work with people they believed to be international drug runners and as part of the plan, bribe local officials to allow large amounts of money to pass through the Terrance B. Lettsome Airport without inspection and arrange for drug-laden cargo ships to anchor off Tortola for a few days to gain legitimacy.
They also allegedly planned to set up shell corporations to further conceal the scheme, according to prosecutors.
The USVI News Source added that Prosecutors plan to show jurors photos of Fahie, Pickering Maynard, Kadeem S. Maynard, R. Sylvester and people identified as A. Tarabay, M. El Khatib, W. Smith, along with aerial views of Tortola, Maria’s By The Sea, and the Greenhouse Restaurant. They also plan to show jurors photos of the supposed drug money.

God is watching all including these colonial people. The people of the BVI please take heed. Those who have ears and eyes let them see and hear. These colomial official people are like the mafia. They have evil spiritual people hired as consultants in many law enforcement areas and paying them out of tax payers money to guide them and show them who is against their agenda and how to eliminate them while making it look like their hands are clean. This is real but the people are fast a sleep by their design. Look at who all died or they moved out of the way but make it look like their hands are clean with S***, C***, W***, F****, the white UK officer that died, N***, M****n, just to name a few that they know are a threat to what they trying to achieve. Look out this week for them to do something drastically major to further abuse their powers and instill more fear in the people to warn them not to interfere with their wicked agenda. The BVI people need to pray and unite against this colonial dragon or they will be in bondage crying for years. This is for real just watch this week and see
Clearly, after his arrest they seized his communication devises (phone, computer), and subpoenaed his phone records. It's clear to me they have gone all out to get Head Coach.
I have not skin in this game, however, I would think the Defense surely will have a rebuttal for those communications and what the prosecution may be thinking about those communications & individuals may have other perhaps innocent explanations.
We shall see how this plays out in court.
should of been up there defending his master , ,instead not wasting his energy down here hollering out - free the drew , which hasn't registered in Bristol brain as yet , that he is only hollering out at himself , but one day he might get the message - hopefully ????
The world is looking at us with disgust. In my opinion this all started when the BVI refused to extradite *** ******. We all know he was the biggest drug dealer in the Caribbean. What did we expect would happen. The US is the most powerful nation in the world. When we refused to extradite B*** we signed our death sentence. Now the US and UK will do anything to bring our beloved territory to its knees. The end is near.
It is your opinion and I respect that. Honestly though, the reason you gave for Fahie being in the situation he's in right now just have me shaking my head in disbelief.
Apparently only our folks are into questionable practices in the territory
Sorry but the UK has no restraint its like a mad dog and they are pulling us like we're still on a leash. We are free humans and not a military asset to a ex-slave master kingdom.
If not its only going to get worse; for who we think is great is not. speaking great things and well dress, and educated so call is not! it ! God looks at the heart... I cannot see mine heart only if they take it out my body and whats in there only God knows.
