The Head of the Guyana Police Force’s Special Branch, Senior Superintendent Prem Narine, has admitted to shredding and burning operational records that detailed an interaction between U.S. Marshal Sandy Rao and two wanted Guyanese businessmen, Azruddin and Nazar Mohamed. The Mohameds are currently sought by the United States Marshals Service to face trial in a federal court in Florida on charges including wire fraud, mail fraud, and money laundering. The incident in question occurred on October 31, 2025, following the arrest of the brothers in Guyana. During a recent court hearing, defense lawyer Siand Dhurjon questioned Narine about the destruction of documents that allegedly proved a private discussion took place between the U.S. agent and the suspects. Narine testified that he permitted the U.S. Marshal to speak with the Mohameds in full view but out of hearing range, yet he claimed not to know the content of that conversation. He further stated that he destroyed the records in January 2026 at the Special Branch headquarters, citing his obligation under the Official Secrets Act to eliminate documents he deemed secret. The Chief Magistrate, Judy Latchman, noted the legal inconsistency of a police official claiming to be a signatory to a law they are also tasked with enforcing. The defense has argued that the destruction of evidence and procedural delays suggest political persecution aimed at facilitating the extradition of the Mohameds, who are alleged financiers of the We Invest in Nationhood political party. Prosecutors have expressed concern over these repeated attempts to delay the extradition proceedings. The U.S. Marshals Service remains the lead agency for fugitive apprehension and extradition matters in this case. Authorities urge anyone with information regarding the location or activities of Azruddin and Nazar Mohamed to contact the U.S. Marshals Service or local law enforcement in Guyana. The case highlights ongoing tensions between Guyanese law enforcement protocols and international extradition requests.
