In this Caribbean Tea legal analysis, attorney Vivian M. Williams examines the extradition proceedings involving Guyanese businessmen Nazar Mohamed and Azruddin Mohamed, the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) ruling, and the constitutional questions that may remain unresolved.
The discussion explores the U.S. extradition request, the federal indictment, allegations involving Guyanese taxes and gold exports, the withdrawal and discontinuance of domestic charges in Guyana, and the relationship between extradition law, constitutional rights, judicial review, sovereignty, and the foreign revenue rule.
Did the Mohameds simply lose at the CCJ—or did the judgment leave open a different constitutional argument in their continuing fight against extradition to the United States?
