Justice Minister Delroy Chuck is warning that tough measures will be implemented to break the back of the lottery scam, which is believed to be at the heart of much of the violence that has plagued western Jamaica since last year.
Among the measures could be a sharp increase in the number of scammers being extradited to the United States (US) to face the courts there for bilking Americans out of millions of dollars.
“I will have no difficulty signing the warrants of extradition once the parish judges make the orders,” Chuck told The Gleaner, as he noted that scammers were getting away with the extortion of vulnerable elderly people in the US and “that criminality cannot be condoned”. http://jamaicagleaner.com/article/lead-stories/20160801/extradite-them-justice-minister-vows-sign-requests-scammers-soon-court
