The premier of the British Virgin Islands (BVI) and the managing director of the Caribbean territory’s ports have been arrested in Miami on drug smuggling charges.Andrew Fahie and Oleanvine Maynard, who heads the islands’ port authority, were arrested at Miami airport, according to Drug Enforcement Agency documents released on Thursday.The DEA said 51-year-old Fahie had agreed to allow an informant, who was posing as a member of Mexico’s Sinaloa drug cartel and whose identity remains confidential, to use British Virgin Islands’ ports to ship cocaine in return for a payment of $500,000. He also asked for additional money to repay a debt to a “fixer”.
