“Georgetown, Thursday, November 6, 2025: Charges filed by the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) against Azruddin Mohamed and Nazar Mohamed on 24th October 2025 were withdrawn and wholly discontinued this morning.
“These charges were filed before the receipt of a request from the Government of the United States to the Government of Guyana for the extradition of Nazar Mohamed and Azruddin Mohamed.
“In light of this extradition request and Government of Guyana’s decision to proceed with the said extradition request, and taking into account all relevant legal principles, including international comity, appropriateness and fairness, these charges were withdrawn and discontinued.”
Last Friday, the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) filed the charges against Azruddin Mohamed and Nazar Mohamed, trading as Mohamed Enterprises, for allegedly understating their taxable income in relation to gold exports by a sum exceeding $34 billion.
The charges were brought by the Commissioner-General of the Revenue Authority, Godfrey Statia. The charges came while the Mohameds were in court for the hearing of a matter where the United States is seeking their extradition on 11 counts.
The core of the complaint details multiple charges against both businessmen.
The charges outline a systematic alleged understatement of taxable liability spanning five fiscal years, from 2020 through 2024, all connected to their gold export activities.
Azruddin Mohamed of Mohamed Enterprises faced multiple counts for returns filed between 2020 and 2024. In these filings, the GRA alleged that the defendant significantly understated his income, accumulating a total alleged shortfall in taxable liability of approximately $4.94 billion.
The charges against Azruddin Mohamed detailed the following alleged shortfalls:
2020/2021: Understated taxable liability by $549,179,282.
2022/2023: Understated taxable liability by $1,738,834,069.
2023/2024: Understated taxable liability by $1,333,173,089.
The charges against Nazar Mohamed of Mohamed Enterprises related to an alleged understatement of taxable liability over the five-year period of approximately $29.12 billion.
The summons outlined five separate charges.
2019/2020: Understated taxable liability by $4,862,297,721.
2021/2022: Understated taxable liability by $7,031,647,223.

2023/2024: Understated taxable liability by $5,332,692,357.
The legal documents said that the alleged incorrect returns were made at the GRA’s Camp Street, Georgetown offices. In March this year, the Mohamed family said it was seeking legal recourse in response to over $900m in tax payments being demanded by the GRA in relation to the importation of luxury vehicles.
