GEORGETOWN, Guyana – The extradition case involving billionaire businessman, Nazar Mohamed and his son, Azruddin, the leader of the main opposition We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) party, has been adjourned to Friday following yet another exchange of documents in court on Monday.

The indictment includes wire fraud, mail fraud, money laundering, conspiracy, aiding and abetting, and customs-related violations connected to an alleged US$50 million gold export and tax evasion scheme.
On Monday, Jamaican attorney, Terrence Williams, who is representing the US interest, told Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman that he was submitting an updated disclosure for the prosecuting State.
Speaking with reporters after the hearing, Williams said that the documents represent the full set of material supplied by the requesting state.
“This is the evidence supporting the request from the United States,” he said, adding that although the defence had raised concerns about the documents not being properly processed, the prosecution had moved to share copies as early as possible, even before they arrived through diplomatic channels.
“This is the second and final request, so this is the case,” he said.
But defence attorney Siand Dhurjon said Monday marked the third hearing in the matter, and once again, not all supporting documents were provided.
“Today they disclosed some documents, but not all documents. They asked that they be indulged and permitted no later than this Friday to submit the rest,” Dhurjon said.
The defence did not object to the extension but insisted that all documents the prosecution intends to rely on must be handed over by Friday.
“That is important because all of these things have to be established before the court of law before any lawful extradition order can be made,” he said, adding that the defence plans to raise constitutional arguments at the next hearing.
“We are working assiduously and building on those points with each passing day… New issues may be identified in those new documents,” Dhurjon said.
Another defence attorney, Roysdale Forde noted that the documents that he and his team were receiving now were “not yet properly processed” through the diplomatic channels”.
Williams said that, according to law, the documents must come through the diplomatic channels.
“We do not intend to tender documents that do not come through the diplomatic channels,” he told the court.
Both Forde and Dhurjon intend make oral submissions on “constitutional points” when the case comes up again on November 28.
