GEORGETOWN, Guyana — The Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) is investigating an alleged conspiracy involving several of its employees and U.S.-sanctioned and indicted businessman Azruddin Mohamed over the unlawful transfer of multiple motor vehicles in breach of anti–money laundering (AML) requirements and motor vehicle transfer regulations, the authority said in a statement.
The GRA said the suspected activities occurred between Nov. 27 and Dec. 5, 2025, and involved coordinated actions by the same employees at key stages of the vehicle transfer process.
According to the authority, a review of its internal records revealed that identical employees were responsible for off-premises examinations of vehicles, the lodgement and approval of transfer documents, and the dispatch and receipt of payments to effect the transfers. The GRA said many of the transferees were listed as residing at similar addresses in Republic Park, Atlantic Gardens and Hill Top, Timehri, on the East Bank of Demerara.
Investigations to date have identified 11 such transfers, including those involving luxury vehicles, the authority said.
“All participants in these illegal activities will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” the GRA said, adding that arrests are expected shortly. The authority noted that investigations remain ongoing and that its international partners have been informed.
The revenue agency said the probe forms part of its mandate to ensure compliance with customs, revenue and anti–money laundering laws and to safeguard the integrity of Guyana’s regulatory systems.
The GRA also appealed to the public to report any illicit or unlawful activities by calling 227-6060, extensions 3201, 3204, 3205, 3206, 3211, 3212 or 3408. All information will be treated with strict confidentiality, and persons providing information may be rewarded in accordance with the Customs Act, Chapter 82:01.
