MIAMI, Florida, USA- A Florida judge has allowed ex-Premier of the Virgin Islands (VI) Andrew A. Fahie liberty to travel for medical treatment and attorney visits in preparation for his criminal trial.

Fahie, 52, is accused of conspiring with former BVI Ports Director Oleanvine Maynard, 61, and her son, Kadeem Maynard, 31, in a cocaine trafficking and money laundering scheme, and the trio were arrested in April 2022 in a sting operation by the US Drug Enforcement Administration.

The former VI Premier is currently on one million dollars bail – $500,000 cash and $500,00 surety –and has to wear an ankle monitor.

Motion to relax bail conditions unopposed

Mr Fahie’s lawyer Theresa van Vliet recently filed an unopposed motion in the US District Court in the Southern District of Florida to modify the conditions of bond and permit her client to travel on a limited basis.

Fahie is not currently allowed to travel for medical and attorney visits, “requiring the undersigned to travel to Defendant’s small two-bedroom apartment which is shared with his two daughters for client visits,” Van Vliet had written.

Ms Van Vliet on Friday, April 7, 2023, asked the court to adjust the bail conditions so her client can travel 45 minutes to her Fort Lauderdale office to have meetings, and this will be done no more than three times a week. As part of Van Vliet’s argument, she said as the trial nears, there will be more need to meet with her client frequently and for longer periods.

Ms Van Vliet also requested that Mr Fahie be allowed to leave his house to seek health care services in the form of dental care with follow-up visits.

Mr Fahie and the Maynards have pleaded not guilty to all charges, including conspiracy to import a controlled substance, conspiracy to engage in money laundering, and attempted money laundering. Fahie and Oleanvine Maynard are also charged with one count each of interstate and foreign travel in aid of racketeering.

Their trial is currently scheduled to begin on July 17, 2023.

        I would like to see how someone who goes by a name such as head coach, known to be actively participating in the shadow economy, and comes recommended by the lebanese hezbollah, can be let off for entrapment. And if that is the defense, the UK can pat themselves on the back (sarcasm) for being too hasty to expose an operation just because they needed to justify the suspension of a constitution. You can act against one but when it pertains to all the people, when it will affect all the people, the never-failing protection of the Father has to be considered.

    That is good to hear ...He is still one of us. Regardless. I still wish him all the best and He and his family God's blessings. Who are we to judge? Trump and Putin did and are doing worse things than what He is being accused of, and they are out and about roaming freely.

    What I find interesting, is WHY he can't speak freely in a home, shared by his wife and daughters..

    I mean, if he's going away for quite some time, he should be willing to lay all out on the table with his children- come clean, so to speak, with the pertinent information..

    .There's something else behind all of this!
