OPPOSITION Senator Faris Al-Rawi feared the latest moves in the extradition case against former FIFA vice president Jack Warner could undermine a string of other extradition proceedings including potential new cases against drug-traffickers and gun-runners.

The former attorney general expressed his alarm at a news briefing at the office of the Opposition Leader in Port of Spain on August 6. The briefing came after news that Attorney General (AG) John Jeremie has launched a probe into the actions of past AGs in the Warner matter, as revealed on July 5 by UK attorney Robert Strang representing the AG at Warner's constitutional challenge to his extradition to the US heard by High Court judge, Justice Karen Reid.

Strang told the court that a key document – a US/TT agreement demarcating the offences for which Warner would face charges in the US – could not be found.
