China’s Embassy in Guyana on Thursday said that it does not view the recent $4.1b money laundering investigation involving some 22 Chinese companies as complete and has forewarned that it considers presently any presumption of guilt as unfair.
The Embassy, however, does clarify that it stands ready to assist local law enforcement officials.
A spokesperson for the embassy, in response to questions asked by the Sunday Stabroek said, “Should the Chinese Embassy in Guyana be requested to provide some assistance, we would be quite willing to do it within our capacity.” The spokesperson added, “It is our knowledge that police investigation to the case …has not been completed in Guyana. Presumption of guilt at this time is not appropriate or fair.”
