Court asks ex-AG to lead defence to fraud charge

Anil Nandlall

In a less than two weeks, former Attorney-General (AG) Anil Nandlall will be expected to lead his defence to the charge that he fraudulently converted over $2 million in law reports.

Georgetown Magistrate Fabayo Azore yesterday informed Nandlall that based on the evidence led by the Guyana Police Force’s Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU), she found that a prima facie case has been made against him and she called upon him to lead a defence to the charge.

The charge against Nandlall states that between May 8th, 2015 and May 29th, 2015, at Georgetown, being a bailee and Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, having 14 law reports, valued at $2,313,853 and property of the Ministry of Legal Affairs, fraudulently took or converted the reports to his own use and benefit.
