The Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) has for a second time been ordered to hand over documents to the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) for investigations into the alleged laundering of more than $100,000,000.

The order was made by acting Chief Justice Roxane George SC on Monday after she dismissed an application by the Revenue Authority for variation of a Production Order sought by SOCU to have the Authority hand over the documents.

According to a Guyana Police Force press release, SOCU had first been granted the production order by the Chief Justice against the Commissioner-General of the GRA on August 12 and it stipulated compliance within 14 days.
