In a recent development at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, attorneys representing Nazar “Shell” Mohamed and Azruddin Mohamed revealed that no evidence linking their clients to Venezuela or the Middle East was disclosed by US-hired lawyers. This revelation came during a court session on November 10, 2025, where the Mohameds are contesting an extradition request from the United States. The US legal team had previously alleged that the Mohameds were involved in an international criminal enterprise with connections to high-ranking officials in Venezuela and extending through the US to the Middle East. However, Attorney-at-Law Roysdale Forde, part of the Mohameds’ defense team, stated that no such documents were provided. The Mohameds face an 11-count Grand Jury indictment in a Florida federal court, including charges of mail fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering related to their gold exports business. They are currently on GY$150,000 bail and are scheduled to return to court on November 24. Meanwhile, the Guyana Revenue Authority has dropped all income tax evasion charges against the Mohameds in light of the US extradition request. Outside the courthouse, a small group of supporters from the We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) political party gathered in solidarity with their leader, Azruddin Mohamed, though the turnout was significantly smaller compared to their previous court appearance on October 31.
