The extradition proceedings against U.S indicted businessman Nazar Mohamed and his son, Azruddin Mohamed, continued on Monday at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, where additional documents were presented in the case.
Speaking with reporters after the hearing, Prosecutor Terrence Williams confirmed that the documents provided represent the full set of material supplied by the requesting state, the United States.
“This is the evidence supporting the request from the United States,” he said.
Williams explained 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, adding that ensuring the defendants have full access to due process remains a priority.
Meanwhile, 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. Dhurjon stressed that the remaining documents must be properly executed through the appropriate diplomatic channels.
“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.
He further revealed 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.
The Mohameds remain on $150,000 bail each.
The U.S. government, on October 30, 2025, requested the extradition of the father and son under the extradition treaty between Guyana and the United Kingdom, which remains in force in Guyana under Section 4(1)(a) of the Fugitives Offenders Act, Cap. 10:04, as amended by Act No. 10 of 2024.
The Mohameds are facing multiple charges in the United States, unsealed on October 6, 2025, by a Southern District of Florida Grand Jury. 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.
