A man who said he was wrongfully arrested and imprisoned by officials of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) is suing the institution for damages in excess of $4M.
Robbie Outar in court documents seen by this newspaper said that he was driving his friend’s car along the Mahaica Public Road at about 3 am on December 31st last, when he was arrested and detained by five heavily-armed men whom he later realized to be officials of the Revenue Authority.
He said that on the night in question, two vehicles sped past him; and because of how they were being driven, he decided to pull over and park—especially since he had been driving for some four hours earlier on a trip to the Corentyne and had not had a break.
