Extradition proceedings for businessmen Nazar Mohamed and his son, Azruddin Mohamed, resumed in Guyana on Monday. The hearing before Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts was adjourned until November 24, 2025. The prosecution presented several key documents supporting the United States' formal extradition request, including arrest warrants and a diplomatic note.
The allegations relate to a purported US$50 million gold export and tax evasion scheme. A grand jury in the Southern District of Florida unsealed charges on October 6, 2025, that include wire fraud, mail fraud, and money laundering. Both men remain on $150,000 bail.
The case has drawn attention due to Azruddin Mohamed’s political standing. His party, We Invest in Nationhood, secured 16 seats in the September 1, 2025, general elections, and he is expected to become the Leader of the Opposition.
