US-indicted Azruddin Mohamed charged for multiple traffic offences

The United States (US) indicted Azruddin Mohamed, who appeared before the Whim Magistrate’s Court on Friday, in relation to several traffic-related offences.
The 38-year-old of Public Road, Houston, East Bank Demerara (EBD), was charged on November 14, 2025, with prohibited tinted glass, obscured identification mark, operating an unlicensed motor vehicle and operating an uninsured motor vehicle. The matter was called on several occasions, after which Magistrate T Hardy ordered that a summons be issued for the accused to appear in court on January 9.
Mohamed turned up in court on Friday, and the charges were read, to which he pleaded not guilty to all counts. Bail was set at $5000 for the offence of prohibited tinted glass, $40,000 for obscured identification marks, $10,000 for operating an unlicensed motor vehicle and $10,000 for operating an uninsured motor vehicle.
The case has been adjourned to January 30. Mohamed and his father, Nazar Mohamed, are currently fighting their extradition to the US, having been sanctioned in 2024 by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). The extradition request was issued by US authorities seeking the surrender of the Mohameds to face charges filed in the Southern District of Florida. An 11-count grand jury indictment accuses them of wire fraud, mail fraud and money laundering in connection with alleged financial crimes involving gold exports. The proceedings are being conducted under Guyana’s Fugitive Offenders Act pursuant to an extradition treaty between Guyana and the US. Both Nazar Mohamed and Azruddin Mohamed remain on bail as the committal hearing continues on February 5.
