Jamaican Fishermen Detained In US, Back Home

Four Jamaican fishermen: The attorney representing four Jamaican fishermen who were detained by the United States’ Immigration Authority following the interception and destruction of their vessel in October, says he will be taking instructions from them on how to proceed.

The men who returned to the island early Thursday afternoon were freed of drug charges brought against them in a Florida court.

Meanwhile, CVM Live understands there’s a likelihood the owner of the Lady Lawla will be pursuing legal action following the destruction of his state-of-the-art tug boat by the US Coast Guards during the incident.
