Kadeem Maynard’s attorney, Jose Rafael Rodriguez, who declined to comment, obtained a prison term for his client below the sentencing guidelines of 11 to 14 years from U.S. Oleanvine Maynard, the former BVI port director, is expected to testify against him. Maynard’s son, Kadeem Stephan Maynard, was also arrested in the Caribbean and brought to Miami.īut Fahie will be going to trial alone in Miami federal court in January since the two co-defendants have pleaded guilty to the cocaine-smuggling conspiracy charge. The April 2022 sting ended with the arrests of Fahie and Maynard on charges of conspiring to import cocaine and engage in money laundering, along with attempted money laundering and racketeering. The undercover operation unfolded like a narco TV series: British Virgin Islands Premier Andrew Alturo Fahie and the Caribbean territory’s port director, Oleanvine Pickering Maynard, were lured to a Miami airport to check on a huge cash payment that was promised to them by a Drug Enforcement Administration informant pretending to be a Mexican cartel member. Andrew Alturo Fahie, above, the premier of the British Virgin Islands, and the territory’s port director were taken into custody April 2022 by Drug Enforcement Administration agents at Miami-Opa-locka Executive Airport.
