(The Center Square ) – A former Bahamian national security minister running for parliament faces growing scrutiny ahead of next week’s general election over his ties to a boat captain accused of attempting to smuggle cocaine into the United States.

Marvin Dames, a candidate with the Free National Movement party, acknowledged entering into a business arrangement with Bahamian boat captain Malcolm Goodman in 2024. Authorities later arrested Goodman near Florida and charged him after they say they discovered about 200 kilograms of cocaine aboard a vessel.
