More evidence of illegal cambio in full operation at the Mohamed’s Enterprise on Lombard Street, Georgetown
Further to the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU)-led operation conducted yesterday, and in continuation of the official statement previously issued, SOCU provides the following update.
The cambio establishment associated with the Mohamed’s had been formally ordered closed pursuant to sanctions imposed by the United States Government and corresponding local regulatory and enforcement actions. Despite this directive, the establishment continued conducting foreign exchange transactions in breach of the closure order.
Prior and following the initial release of video evidence showing ongoing activity at the location, Azrudin Mohamed publicly denied that the cambio was operational.
In the interest of transparency and to clarify the facts, SOCU released additional video footage captured minutes before the operation commenced. The footage clearly shows and audibly records the exchange of local and foreign currency, confirming that business transactions were actively taking place.
Investigations remain ongoing. SOCU reaffirms its commitment to impartial law enforcement and to safeguarding the integrity of Guyana’s financial and regulatory systems. Further updates will be provided as appropriate.
