Antigua former financial regulator extradition case

The court case to determine whether Antigua and Barbuda’s former chief financial regulator, Leroy King, should be extradited to the United States has been adjourned until next month.
US authorities want King to be extradited for what they say is his connection to the alleged multi-billion dollar investment fraud of disgraced financier Sir Allen Stanford.
The chief executive officer of the Financial Services Regulatory Commission, who has denied any wrong doing and is fighting the extradition request, appeared briefly before Chief Magistrate Ivan Walters yesterday.
Although it was anticipated that Walters would have announced whether there was sufficient evidence to commit King for extradition, he said he was not ready to deliver his decision and adjourned the matter to April 26.
