Former Managing Director of British Virgin Islands Ports Authority to Testify Against Former Premier Fahie
MIAMI, FL – Former Managing Director of the BVI Ports Authority, Oleanvine Pickering Maynard, is scheduled to testify against former Premier Andrew Fahie when his drug and money laundering trial begins in January next year.
Oleanvine Pickering MaynardThis is according to a report in the Miami Herald.
Maynard’s son, Kareem Maynard, 32, pleaded guilty earlier this year to a single count of conspiracy to import cocaine and was sentenced last week to 57 months in prison with a five-year period of supervised release after his sentence.
Kadeem obtained a prison term below the sentencing guidelines of 11 to 14 years after he agreed to a plea bargain with prosecutors and they dropped additional charges that he faced previously.
In his plea arrangement, Kadeem insisted that he only had a minor role in the cocaine and money laundering scheme that was revealed nearly two years ago.
According to Kadeem, he introduced the DEA informant posing as a drug cartel member to his mother, and coordinated meetings between the informant, his mother and the former Premier.
In her plea agreement, Oleanvine Maynard admitted that she introduced the informant to Fahie and together they used their authority to facilitate the purported cocaine-smuggling plan.
Her plea agreement requires that she testify against Fahie.
Meanwhile, Fahie continues to remain at his daughters’ home in Florida on a US$1 million bond.

The former Premier was initially arrested with Maynard and charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering, attempted money laundering, conspiracy to import cocaine and later slapped with charges of racketeering as well.
His attorney, Theresa Van Vliet, told the Miami Herald that Fahie did not intend to seek a plea deal and wanted to fight the charges vigorously in court once his trial came up.
Maynard is scheduled for sentencing on January 18, 2024, just 10 days after the start of Fahie’s trial on January 8, 2024.
