Nazar Mohamed and his son Azruddin Mohamed, both indicted in the U.S., appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on Friday. The prosecution confirmed that full and final disclosure in their extradition proceedings has been completed, advancing the case toward its next phases.
With all documents and evidence from the U.S. request now presented to local courts, the defense is set to argue its constitutional objections. Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman has scheduled oral submissions for December 8, with a ruling expected on December 10.
Prosecutor Terrence Williams informed the court that the final set of documents was submitted earlier that week. “The prosecution disclosed all the evidence from the American request… all of that was disclosed,” Williams stated. He acknowledged the defense’s request for additional time and emphasized the importance of due process, indicating that the prosecution would not oppose a request for more time.
“We are making ourselves ready to call evidence if needs be… we always want to be in a position to progress the matter,” he affirmed.
However, Williams refrained from discussing the specifics of the U.S. request, stating, “I don’t want to speak about the evidence… because this matter is before the court.”
Defense attorney Roysdale Forde confirmed the completion of the disclosure process, highlighting the necessity for the defense to review the documents thoroughly. “We requested… an opportunity, after the close of disclosure, to review all the documents as a whole to further advise our clients and then proceed to the constitutional issues,” Forde explained.
Although he requested a two-week adjournment, the court granted a one-week delay. Written submissions are due by December 5.
Forde also noted that the defense received various formal statements and evidence reportedly related to offences committed by the Mohameds.
The Mohameds are currently out on bail set at $150,000 each. The U.S. government requested their extradition on October 30, 2025, under the extradition treaty between Guyana and the United Kingdom, which remains in effect in Guyana as per the Fugitives Offenders Act.
They face multiple charges in the United States, following an indictment unsealed on October 6, 2025, by a Grand Jury in the Southern District of Florida. The charges include wire fraud, mail fraud, money laundering, conspiracy, aiding and abetting, and customs-related violations tied to an alleged US$50 million gold export and tax evasion scheme.
