Georgetown Magistrate Leron Daly is expected to rule next month on an application by the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) to change the particulars of a charge against a husband and wife who are accused of attempting to smuggle just over four pounds of raw gold, worth an estimated $14.6 million, out of the country.
Shazam and Bibi Khan are currently charged with possession of 1907.2 grammes (equivalent to 4.2 pounds) of raw gold, valued at $14.6 million, on September 20th, 2017, at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), while not being producers.
The Khans, of Lot 3 Peter’s Hall, East Bank Demerara, have denied the charge, which SOCU prosecutor Patrice Henry is seeking to amend.
