Bulk cash smuggling continues to thrive in the Caribbean. A Bermuda national, Winston Franklin Robinson, together with a Trinidadian, were arrested and charged with money laundering after US$1.6m was found concealed on board a yacht anchored in a harbour in St. Vincent. Mr. Robinson, a reputed regional drug trafficker who apparently had made several prior trips to that country, reportedly has a prior conviction for narcotics possession in the Netherlands Antilles. He was deported to Bermuda from St. Martin in 2003, after serving one half of a sixteen-month sentence.
