RTC News obtained an update on the extradition of Former Premier of the Turks & Caicos from the Acting AG of the TCI Rhondalee Knowles.
Mrs. Knowles said, “Having had a number of queries, I wish to provide the following update on the extradition of Michael Misick.
The SIPT wished to ensure that Mr. Misick would be back in the Turks and Caicos Islands in time to participate, if he wished, in the Plea and Directions hearing involving his co accused that is to start on 6th January 2014.
It was not until 18th December that confirmation was received from the Brazilian authorities to the British Embassy that the necessary formalities have been completed, the TCI authorities now have to make the necessary arrangements to bring Mr. Misick to the TCI. This is being done as soon as possible but is unlikely to now be done before the Plea and Direction Hearing.
The arrangements for Mr. Misick’s return will be made in accordance with normal policing practice. Those arrangements will be in complete compliance with his human and legal rights,” Mrs. Knowles added.
