What happened next? Jamaican crime and corruption | Life and style | The Guardian: "Just a few months ago, Christopher 'Dudus' Coke was widely regarded as the most powerful man in Jamaica. The leader of the Shower Posse gang, he was said to own whole neighbourhoods, politicians and perhaps even their parties through his extensive crime organisation built around drug trafficking. So when the government moved to extradite him to the US in May, after sitting on a warrant for eight months, perhaps no one was more surprised than Coke.
His gang put up a furious fight, turning the Tivoli Gardens neighbourhood of Kingston – the constituency of the prime minister, Bruce Golding – into a war zone as they battled the police and army. More than 70 people were killed and thousands fled their homes, the security forces accused of indiscriminate killings."
