The British government
is seeking to take control of the properties in Jamaica, which are owned by 55 year old Jamaican Norman Ramcharan.
Ramcharan who was one of Jamaica’s most sought-after criminals, was jailed in London in November 2004 for laundering 1.7 million pound sterling from the proceeds of cocaine trafficking.
The Director of Public Prosecutions has applied for forfeiture orders on behalf of the British government.
The matter came for hearing in the Supreme Court yesterday but has been put off until December 4.
Lawyers from the DPP's office and the lawyers representing Ramcharan said they needed more time to discuss the matter.
Norman Ramcharan who is from Montego Bay is the brother of Montego Bay businessman Leebert Ramcharan who is serving a 35 year prison sentence in the USA for drug trafficking.
