-Mohammeds probe was mentioned by person escorting him
Minister of Natural Resources Vickram Bharrat could not be questioned in the United States by federal agents or any other authority as he travels with diplomatic immunity and the case of the sanctioned Mohameds was only mentioned by one of the persons escorting him through JFK Airport in New York, his attorney Sanjeev Datadin says.
“There was a comment made about it [the Mohameds case] by one of the persons but it had nothing to do with him [Bharrat]… it was not a question. He was not required to answer…,” Datadin told the Sunday Stabroek yesterday when contacted.
“He could not be held or questioned by federal agents because that would have been in contravention of the Geneva Convention [on the privileges and immunities of the United Nations]. He travels on a diplomatic passport,” he added.
