Others may suffer similar fate as Fahie
Former Speaker of the House of Assembly Julian Willock has said he is sure Fahie’s conviction was the culmination of concerted efforts to get rid of him.
“There is no doubt that there was a coordinated effort to get at Andrew Fahie — whether he fell for the cherry or bait, that’s a different issue. But what I know, from the evidence I have, there was a coordinated, systematic effort to get rid of him and they’ve achieved their goal,” Willock posited on Tola Radio’s Morning Braff radio show on Monday.
At the same time, he made it clear that he isn’t justifying the drug-related allegations that US authorities made against Fahie. He then hinted that the BVI should brace for more bad news as “they” have a similar fate lined up for others in the community.
“It’s my understanding that there are other people on the list that they’re targeting so I don’t know,” Willock said. However, he did not explain who “they” are.
In the meantime, Willock added that Fahie’s guilty verdict came as a shock to him, adding that the American “judicial system is what it is.” He also deemed the conviction a sad situation for the entire territory and asked persons to remember the former Premier’s family in their prayers.
“What I know is that we ought to remember him and his family in our prayers. It’s a sad situation not only for him, his family and his former district (D1) but it’s a sad situation for all of us in the Virgin Islands,” the former Spealer stated.
Premier Dr Natalio Wheatley and Willock are among the few public figures who’ve given their opinions on the Fahie verdict. Others have largely remained quiet since the arrest of the former Premier, saying they wish not to comment on matters before the court.

Why is bvi news featuring this clown?
@Chupes
The esteemed one wants so very desperately to be a member of the House of Assembly, so he has commentary on everything. Especially on issues dealing with transparency in government and eradicating government corruption (he’s against both). The esteemed one is a major champion of the wink-wink, under-the-table system of government.
Your next Wiggy!!
You might be next
Why does this guy get the oxygen of publicity? Nothing he says is worth reporting
Julian willock is the real deal the king of the bvi if he walk they cover him
I enjoy the talking heads of our country saying the most obvious things like its some secret. Yes, of course the US would start to scrutinize the country more if someone holding one of the highest positions in the country got caught, the man wasn’t going to mule it himself he was going to create a system with a good number of people to make it work. Those people are still out there and surprisingly there are not any legal internships for drug smuggling. If they have experience moving drugs then their a criminal, simple as. Its simply due diligence to start taking more names.
Willock is our only hope
@Jack
Did you not mean “hopeless”?
Then God help us.
He gave all that taxpayer cash – $40m- to his friends. They need to pray extra hard for him. I didn’t get a cent so I can’t say I am sorry for him LOL
We got willock in d3 end of story
Especially if he gives them names in an attempt to reduce his sentence
Him and fathog on the list
Mr Willock has earned my vote Aaron not ready district 3
If it got others who just as corrupt then they should indeed share a similar fate. What’s the problem?
No good come from this man’s mouth!
Those same blogs in his favour were written by him. Bvi news, please do us a favour and Let this clown feature himself on his thrash site. Stop giving this clown soup an audience on your platform.
The esteemed getting in next election the people love him in sea ca bay
If you have done nothing wrong then you have nothing to fear. The time is ticking before more will follow.
Mr x speaker he had given u a big job and u wanted to be the boss that’s why u didn’t last long,I don’t want to talk my mind on u ,u would not post it
STOP IT !!!!!! The man was the Premier for god sake. He should have had the people/person who brought that mess to him locked up and fired.
Corrupt officials, drug dealers, thieves of the taxpayers money , people traffickers , all going down, none will be missed.
No bruh. All Fahie had to do was tell them in clear terms that he will not be involved in this or any such activity. Most of us have done that before in some capcity, when someone else has approached us with some get rich over night scheme. The love of money is the root of all evil, not money itself. Greed and witchcraft debts got Andrew in trouble, so how can anyone be surprised by the verdict despite their prayers. A person cannot have 2 masters and GOD is a jealous fellow.
He should have been aware whatever spells he casts could end up rebounding on him.
They dumb the deal was to easy and straightforward he should have known. And let’s be for real There are too many black people getting rich in the BVI. The U.K. will not want that whether legal or illegal. He building million dollar house…too much dip on ya chip. They know everything but when ya start getting too rich they gonna remind u.. u just an n word don’t get beside urself. Gods willing he doesn’t get life everyone should be given a chance to rehabilitate. Sad all around.
Yoy said everyone should be given a chance to rehabilitate…sad the persons who were gunned down and those who went mad because of cocaine on the streets… they had absolutely no chance. They are dead, and those who are alive, they are mad.
The more I hear him speak the more respect I have for Mr Willock
Imagine he has good reason to avoid travel to or through the US.
I noticed willock and csc always in the USA hope they have not turn rats
Have we noticed that Mr Willock in not looking for a job ? He is hoping to get a seat in the house which is easy money especially as it relates to the greedy bill.
Buyers beware
Boi we see you got another new name , and don’t think you know the meaning of the respect , because you don’t even respect your own self , self praise is no recommendation so you can blow your own horn
