Former EZjet boss extradited to Florida, remains in jail - chairman - 01-04-2013
Former boss of the collapsed charter airline, EZjet, Sonny Austin Ramdeo spent a mere nine minutes in a Florida court shortly after his extradition from New York on an indictment of wire fraud. He is charged with filching some US$20 million from Promise Healthcare Hospitals and transferring the money to his charter airline, EZjet.
Appearing before Magistrate Judge Dave Lee Brannon, Ramdeo again waived the formal reading of the indictments and pleaded not guilty. Earlier, he was informed of his rights and at his request to address the court, he pleaded indigence (that he had no money to afford counsel) so that the state would appoint a defender.
This case in Florida is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Ellen L. Cohen.
In New York, he had also waived the formal reading of the indictment and had also pleaded not guilty. He remained in jail until his extradition to Florida on Old Year’s Day (December 31).
