"I can tell you that I have this evening received a formal
request for the extradition of Mr. Jack Warner with the
supporting extradition package," Nicholas told reporters.
"The process is now for me to examine the documentation and
consider the evidence and decide whether to issue the authority
to proceed."
Warner, 72, currently on bail, is wanted in the U.S. on a dozen
charges including bribery, corruption and wire fraud conspiracy.
Warner who was arrested on a provisional warrant will reappear
in court on July 27 in relation to his extradition matter.
