Former attorney general Faris Al-Rawi is expressing concern over a potential fallout in Trinidad and Tobago’s extradition relationship with the United States, as he questions the handling of the ongoing extradition proceedings against former Fifa vice president Jack Warner.
Al-Rawi, who served as AG from 2015 to 2022, said he personally signed extradition orders during his tenure and is now seeking clarity on what current Attorney General John Jeremie has ordered a probe into, as well as the additional documentation Warner’s lawyers are reportedly requesting in his legal battle to avoid being sent to face charges in the US. He believes this can set a precedent for other people to challenge their extraditions to the US.
