US visa bribery probe deepens in Jamaica
(Jamaica Observer) A senior security official who worked in the US Embassy in Kingston is expected to be charged soon for his alleged role in helping the manager of a popular Jamaican entertainer obtain a US visa to leave the island in the face of legal troubles, according to highly placed law enforcement sources.
The manager, law enforcement officials told the Jamaica Observer, works for the Jamaican deejay, who allegedly gave gifts to assistant regional security officer David J Rainsberger who helped the deejay obtain a US visa following the revocation of a previous visa in 2010.
According to our source, the senior security official — the second US embassy staff member to figure in the probe — gave a statement in mid- 2012 in which he admitted to accepting money, plane tickets and backstage passes to concerts for his effort.
