GUYANA - WAITING FOR WASHINGTON

Read it:
Guyana, 2002 to 2026. A coast of fewer than a million people became a cocaine route, a gold exporter and then an oil state, and the blows that landed on its biggest criminal figures came mostly from abroad: a Brooklyn courtroom, a Florida grand jury, the US Treasury. At home, a trafficker caught with government-grade listening equipment walked free, fraud charges against the man who became president were withdrawn under the immunity of his new office, scanner images of a cocaine container vanished, and a gold trader named by Washington became Leader of the Opposition while fighting extradition. Covers Roger Khan and his lawyer Robert Simels, Nazar and Azruddin Mohamed and Mohamed's Enterprise, Mae Thomas, Barry Dataram, Calvin Brutus, and the Pradoville 2 and NICIL affairs.
