After nearly two decades in limbo, the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago finally succeeded in its multimillion-dollar civil asset forfeiture claim in Miami, linked to the construction of the country’s international airport 22 years ago.
The case, the longest in Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Reemberto Diaz’s 1900 case history, ended Wednesday evening when the jury decided that three businessmen, two with Miami ties, conspired to defraud the Republic out of more than $32 million.
