-Nandlall says will be done by weekend
Government has not yet written to the United States Department of Justice for information it said it needs on the sanctions on businessmen Nazar Mohamed, his son Azruddin, and Permanent Secretary Mae Toussaint Jr Thomas but Attorney General Anil Nandlall SC has assured that it would be done by the end of this week.
“It would be recalled that late last week, a correspondence was received by the Minister of Finance informing the Minister of Finance that the Attorney General of Guyana should communicate with the Department of Justice in the US, utilising a particular facility which is the Mutual Assistance Act, in communicating with the US on this matter… I have not done so as yet and I expect to do so before the end of this week,” Nandlall on Tuesday informed, during his weekly ‘Issues in the News’ broadcast on his Facebook page.
The Government of Guyana was last week advised by Washington 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).
