Prominent quarry operator and real estate businessman Danny Guerra, along with his son, was detained on November 20 under the state of emergency’s preventative-detention provisions. The arrest, linked to serious allegations involving national security, was confirmed by Assistant Commissioner of Police Richard Smith. Guerra, who was previously out on bail for alleged illegal quarry operations in Guanapo, was taken to the Eastern Correctional Rehabilitation Centre by the Special Investigations Unit (SIU). Smith stated that Guerra would likely remain in custody for the full 90 days permitted under the state of emergency while investigations continue. The detention order was issued by Minister of Homeland Security Roger Alexander, though specific details of the allegations were not disclosed. A source close to Guerra, however, claimed the detention lacked factual basis and was tied to previous quarry-related charges. The source also revealed that Guerra had made significant political donations during the April 28 election campaign, though the recipient party was not specified. Guerra’s health condition remains unknown following his hospitalization in October for complications arising from his initial arrest. The Guerra family’s legal troubles began on October 9 when Danny Guerra, his son Garvin Guerra, and 16 others were arrested during a police operation that shut down an alleged illegal quarry in Guanapo, seizing millions of dollars worth of equipment.
