PROVIDENCIALES, Turks & Caicos Islands (AP) Officials in the Turks & Caicos Islands say a Brazilian court has ordered the extradition of a former premier accused of corruption while leader of the tiny British Caribbean territory.
Michael Misick was arrested in Brazil last year on a warrant issued by Interpol. He faces trial in the Turks & Caicos on charges of corruption.
Misick was released from custody in February but couldn't leave Brazil and still faced extradition to his homeland.
The islands' attorney general says a Brazilian court decision to extradite the ex-premier back to the territory was made Tuesday.
In a statement, Huw Shepheard says the court's decision is welcome since "it is in the best interests of the TCI that allegations of wrongdoing are thoroughly investigated."
