City businessman, Azruddin Mohamed, said he has managed to clear his new motor car, a Ferrari 488 Pista Spider, from the US Customs following a ruling from a court in the United States.
The businessman said that his vehicle was “inexplicably detained” on the grounds of allegations made to foreign law enforcement about himself, family, and company.
He also said allegations ranging from drug trafficking, assassinations and illegal gun trade, to money laundering, financing of terrorism and purchasing gold from Venezuela (a blacklisted country), were levelled against him.
In a Facebook post on Friday, Mohamed said that his two US attorneys had filed a motion in the US Court challenging the unlawful detention of the vehicle.
“This motion consisted of three hundred pages and exhibited twenty-five supporting documents which contradicted and exposed the ‘information’ being peddled by these two malicious human beings as unsubstantiated, unfounded and unjustified deceptions. Consequently, the presiding Judge ordered the immediate release of the vehicle much to their embarrassment,” he said in the post.
According to Mohamed, having learned of the detainment of his vehicle, his attorneys-at-law were flown to Guyana to review every aspect of his business, record keeping, accounting procedures, statutory declarations, and standard operating procedures. On conclusion of this process, they were able to confirm and verify the legitimacy of his and his family’s businesses, he said.
“This is yet another foiled attempt in a long history of failed plots to target me, my family and my businesses which were orchestrated by these two men with a desperate vendetta, one motivated by envy, greed and jealousy in business and the second motivated” by jealousy, Mohamed said.
Back in August, the businessman had stated that one of his competitors in the gold industry – who he did not name – was the driving force behind the allegations levelled against him and other members of the Guyana Police Force by Police Sergeant Dion Bascom.
In a statement, issued on his Team Mohamed’s Facebook page, he noted that Bascom and the gold dealer share close relations since the former was integral in the setting up of a security service for the latter. Bascom, during a Facebook live video, had accused Deputy Head of the Guyana Police Force’s Major Crimes Unit of covering up the murder of Ricardo Fagundes on March 21 last year.
Mohamed in his latest Facebook post wrote that with the facts being in public domain, “reference [are] being made to these men as the architects of these lies… As you will recall my post from a few months ago which referenced another attempt by an Essequibo businessman and a convicted drug dealer to defame myself, my family and my company.”
“I still pray and hope that God-Almighty will change their hearts so that they realize that good will always triumph over evil,” the businessman said.
