-Washington tells gov’t
The Government of Guyana has been advised by the US that information being sought on sanctions against gold dealers, Nazar Mohamed and Azruddin Mohamed and Permanent Secretary Mae Toussaint Jr Thomas would have to be sourced via the Department of Justice (DoJ).
Minister of Finance Ashni Singh last night issued a statement saying that in the matter of the Guyana Government’s request for relevant information concerning the sanctions against “certain Guyanese individuals and entities”, it was told to direct such requests from the office of Guyana’s Attorney General to the US Department of Justice, which will then work with the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to gather source documentation on the matter.
