Ex-Premier Andrew A. Fahie gets $1M bail offer in Miami drug case
But before Hon Fahie can be released from a federal lock-up on a new $1 million bond, he must prove to the judge that the money for his bail comes from a legitimate source.
According to Miami Herald today, May 24, 2022, US District Judge Kathleen Williams ruled that Hon Fahie can post a $500,000 personal surety bond co-signed by him, his daughters and a friend in addition to a $500,000 corporate surety bond, the latter of which had been imposed by a magistrate judge earlier this month.
The magistrate’s previous bond ruling had been put on hold until Williams’ review.
Other conditions of bail
Williams also said that Fahie, 51, must wear a GPS device so he can be monitored and that his defense attorney can only visit him at his daughters’ home in southwest Miami-Dade County. His daughters and wife also have to surrender their passports.
Assistant US Attorney Frederic X. Shadley tried to keep Hon Fahie locked up until trial, saying the ex premier was a flight risk and a danger to the community. Shadley noted that Fahie potentially faces 30 years to life in prison for his alleged offenses, and that he was “corrupt to the core” — pointing out that he told a federal undercover informant who approached him about smuggling thousands of kilos of cocaine through the British territory that this was “not my first rodeo at all.”
However, Fahie’s defense attorney, Theresa Van Vliet, argued that the prosecution’s case against her client was built on a “sting” operation, an unknown US government informant and exaggerated allegations. She said he deserved his freedom before trial because he needed to prepare his defense and had close ties to the Miami community.

Whether Good News! is a payed propaganda artist or simply an idiot trying to make locals look bad is up for debate.
Either they have nothing better to do than be the first to sow discord or their paid to be the first.

Does the USA deal with all other criminals in this way? USA is a SOPHISTICATED hypocrite - They are talking about Putin, but they are MORE EVIL than Putin. WHAT has his daughters and wife done? REALLY?
It's the normal practice... all evidence by the prosecution should be given to the defence team
it's done in BVI...
Would you disown and hate your offspring for being accused by foreigners in a sting?
My comments are very much real and meaningful! People like you showed fake support all along!! Never give up on your own because strangers told you so..
Our leader will be welcome home, just like many of our prodigal relatives and like the example in your bible!
I hope he has ten rich friends with 100K each in their bank accounts and willing to wait a positive outcome or just willing to lose it , then he can get some level of freedom. It such a sad event.
For we wrestle against western principalities, against western powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this Roman imperial world order, against spiritual wickedness in high places of London and Washington DC.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
