Privy Council rejects Erickson’s application to appeal extradition

Erickson

The Privy Council has rejected former fugitive from justice, Nyron Erickson’s application to appeal against the governor’s order to have him extradited to the United States of America (US).

Erickson faces an indictment in the USA on charges of conspiracy to launder monetary funds from outside the USA and unlawfully transporting those funds into the USA.

In a February 15 decision document on Erickson’s application seen by BVI News, the Privy Council’s Judicial Committee said: “Having considered an application for permission to appeal from a judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (British Virgin Islands) dated 11th August 2022 in the matter of Nyron Erickson (Appellant) v United States of America (Respondent) and having considered written submissions from the parties, we have agreed to report to Your Majesty as our opinion that 1) the application for permission to appeal should be REFUSED because the appeal does not raise an arguable point of law.

The Privy Council’s Judicial Committee further noted that His Majesty King Charles III was “pleased by and with the advice of His Privy Council to approve the report and to order that those charged with administering the Government of the British Virgin Islands and all others whom it may concern are to ensure that it is punctually observed and obeyed.”

This effectively means that the extradition will now move forward as planned.

It is not yet clear to our news centre when the accused will be made to leave the territory.

    After the calamity of the repeated failures to extradite B H, it was important that this one was successful. Presumably the DPP was not involved.

    Having met Nyron before he turned Chief, I just feel it’s a shame he couldn’t find a way to use his brains, guts and skills to go big in the honest world. This is why the BVI is so screwed, you can millions moving drugs in a couple of years but try to use the same entrepreneurial skills in a honest way and every one slaps you down and you have to work twice as hard.
    Everyone wants to moan about guns and drug running but the same establishment makes it’s so hard for these people to make a honest living. Trade don’t give licenses, Labour makes it hard to employ people and Government is slow.
