Seawell’s attorney says UK legislation not applicable
And while Kaseke and his counterparts had entirely different views about the same piece of legislation, he said there is also a major difference with this case and previous extradition hearings.
Elson Kaseke
“They were saying that the UK extradition acts are still applicable in Belize, that they were saved at independence. But with the greatest of respect, they are missing the point that the extension and the application of the UK extradition acts to Belize was in respect of the 1972 UK/USA extradition treaty. So absent that treaty, the extension falls away in other words.”

“Okay, what makes this case different from cases in the past such as the Rhett Fuller case and others before?”
Elson Kaseke
“The Rhett Fuller case fell under the 1972 treaty. This case is the first case where we are arguing squarely under the 2000 treaty.”
In 1997 Mark and his brother, Gary were named as co-conspirators in a U.S. Federal drug indictment. Their alleged U.S. accomplices had pleaded guilty to the importation of cocaine to Columbus, Ohio.


My hair stand on end every time I hear about the United States of America and drudges. It is well established and posted on the Internet reliable information about higer ups in the USA system that engages in drudges trafficking from South East Asia to the cocain trade in South America. Its no secret that during the contra war in Central America, the USA`was involve in drudg trade to finance the war after their congress cut off funding for the war. When it was exposed that Manuel Noriaga and his drudgs trade was linked to directly to high level sources in the USA, they tried to invole Fidel Castro who said that he would launch an investigate and whomever is found to be involve in drudgs will be severly deal with, which he did when he found out that two high ranking military personnels were involve in drudges, and they paid the price with their lives, as they were executed.
I meet former high and spoke to former high ranking military individuals from Colombia who confrimed that air planes brought in weapons and carried out drudges. Here we are trying to extrdite out citizens for a drudge business that he was suppose to have been involved in many years ago. A waste of precious resources that should be used to deal with current real crimes. GET REAL.
