British investigators looking into corruption allegations in the Turks and Caicos Islands have issued an Interpol arrest warrant for former Turks and Caicos Premier Michael Misick.

Thirteen individuals including four former government ministers already have been formally charged in court with taking millions of dollars to fraudulently distribute government land and giving access to developers. The arrest and charges are part of an ongoing investigation by the Special Investigation and Prosecution Team (SIPT). Next month, the Turks and Caicos Supreme Court is scheduled to decide whether there is sufficient evidence for a trial to proceed.

“For the past several months the SIPT has sought to secure the attendance of Mr Misick at its offices in Providenciales in respect of allegations of corruption and money laundering during his time in office,” the investigation team said in a statement Monday. “Every opportunity has been given to Mr Misick to voluntarily surrender to the SIPT’s jurisdiction for interview. Despite previous indications from Mr. Misick’s solicitors that he would attend for interview, he has failed to do so.”
