Norris 'Deedo' Nembhard,Robroy 'Spy' Williams, his brother Glenford Williams and Vivian Dalley who were held along with Nembhard for extradition

DEFENCE attorney for alleged drug kingpin Norris 'Deedo' Nembhard, Jacqueline Samuels-Brown, yesterday applied for leave in the Court of Appeal, to allow for an application to the United Kingdom-based Privy Council in a last ditch bid to stop Nembhard from being handed over to United States authorities.On Wednesday, Justice Minister Dorothy Lightbourne, attached her signature to extradition warrants allowing for Nembhard and three other alleged drug dealers, Robroy 'Spy' Williams, his brother Glenford Williams and Vivian Dalley who were held along with Nembhard in 2004, to be handed over to the US.But Samuels-Brown told the Observer yesterday that she would be using every legal channel to prevent her client from being extradited.
"We wrote back to her protesting her proposed action. We have now made an application for leave to apply to the Privy Council. We have also filed a constitutional motion in the Supreme Court," Samuels-Brown said.
Former police corporal Herbert 'Scarry' Henry, has waived his right to appeal and will be extradited.The five were among several persons arrested in 2004, after Drug Enforcement Agents (DEA) in the state of Florida served provisional warrants to local authorities claiming the men were part of a drug smuggling ring - which shipped over 5,000 kilograms of cocaine and a quantity of marijuana into the United States.The smugglers allegedly arranged for cocaine to be shipped from the Colombian coast and transferred to a yacht in Jamaican waters before being smuggled into the US.The alleged drug ring was smashed after DEA operatives arrested a nephew of Robroy Williams in a go-fast boat in international waters between the territorial waters of Colombia and Jamaica. The boat was allegedly stashed with cocaine and the man was taken to Guantanamo Bay and then to Florida.The man allegedly told the DEA agents that he was working for his uncle and gave them a complete outline of the drug-running operation after he was offered a plea bargain deal.

Daniel Bailey (35) avoided prison when he received a 26-week suspended sentence after pleading guilty to producing cannabis. But following a separate investigation into his finances by police, he has been told to pay up £194,370 by a court. If he fails to hand over the money within six months, he will face a three-year jail term.During a hearing brought by police under the Proceeds of Crime Act, Lincoln Crown Court was told officers swooped on Bailey's home, near Spalding, on August 5, 2005. They searched the property and found 22 cannabis plants growing among the flowers in his back garden.More cannabis seedlings were discovered in a shed, and two small lumps of the drug were seized in the house.Bailey was subsequently convicted of production of cannabis, which triggered the probe into his financial affairs.The further enquiries showed that in the six years before his arrest, Bailey had claimed incapacity benefit and income support to the tune of more than £21,000, to which he was

But despite the gang's best efforts each of the three importations - two to Dover docks and one which arrived at Heathrow airport - were intercepted during an investigation by the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca).Altogether 24kg of the drug - with an estimated street value of £2.3 million - was seized. In the dock with Mohammed, 41, of Lancaster Road, Leytonstone, east London (25 years), were his lieutenant Ibrahim Janturk, 52, from Tottenham, north London (22 years), and "footsoldiers" Cetin Albar, 35, who lived in Clapton Common, east London, and Emircan Aytac, 48, of Boyson Road, Walworth, south-east London, who got 16 years each.Mohammed was convicted by a jury of three counts of conspiracy to import heroin
