MIAMI, Florida, USA- Theresa M. Van Vliet, the attorney for former Premier of the Virgin Islands Hon Andrew A. Fahie, has made a request for another postponement of Mr Fahie’s sentencing in a Miami court.

Mr Fahie, who is facing a minimum of 10 years imprisonment, was scheduled to be sentenced on June 25, 2024. He was found guilty on February 8, 2024, on charges of drug smuggling, money laundering, and racketeering, after he was arrested at a Miami Airport on April 28, 2022.

Before June 25, Fahie was slated to be sentenced on April 29, 2024; however, the sentencing hearing date was adjusted after Van Vliet made a request for it because of her unavailability for the initial date.

This latest request is also due to Van Vliet’s unavailability.

We will provide an update on the Judge’s decision.

Meanwhile, former Managing Director of the BVI Ports Authority (BVIPA) Oleanvine Pickering-Maynard recently had her sentencing hearing pushed back to June 20, 2024.

Pickering-Maynard was scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday, June 6, 2024.

    Whenever these criminals are sentenced then please report the sentence in the news. Postponements are not news.

      With all of these postponements, he would have served his time already and all they would have to do is release him.

        Luis mental health is real and any of us can get there. From her current post, it seems she is in the Orlando area if I read them correctly where the homeless and mental health is a very serious problem.

    Some bloggers are so bitter, seems as if Fahie does not get the maximum sentence they will not be able to sleep or eat. I hope they will not get caught anytime soon because many of them out there badmouthing him are doing illegal activities and it is just a matter of time…

      Still does not condone his behavior as a leader of a Country. Everyone makes mistakes, but in Andrew's own words " this is not my first time" so he will do the time having been found guilty.

      If other people are doing wrong that's their crime to answer for to God and the courts.
