Embattled Assistant Police Commissioner Calvin Brutus yesterday challenged a claim by the Ministry of Home Affairs that he attempted to leave Guyana illegally via Lethem.
Brutus is facing over 200 charges including money laundering and his wife, who is also facing related charges, left the country recently for medical attention. Her departure was also a subject of controversy.
A release yesterday from the Ministry of Home Affairs said that information had come to the Ministry’s notice of an incident which took place on Monday, December 16th, 2024, involving a vehicle bearing Brazilian registration number NUK 8E96, which was intercepted by law enforcement officers on its approach to the Takutu Bridge, Lethem, Region 9. The vehicle, carrying a driver and one passenger, was attempting to depart Guyana without reporting to an immigration officer.
