Attorney General Anil Nandlall SC has asked the Regional Security System’s (RSS) Asset Recovery Unit (ARU) to assist in high-profile money laundering cases.
This was disclosed yesterday in a release from the Attorney General’s Chambers on the outcome of a visit here by the Barbados-based RSS which Guyana joined in September last year.
The release said that the Attorney General requested the RSS ARU to aid the local Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) and the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) in ”certain high-profile ongoing investigations of money laundering”. While in Guyana the RSS has met with the FIU, SOCU and the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit. Today, the RSS is expected to meet with the Director of Public Prosecutions.
