A Guyana-based Brazilian man, wanted by the authorities in Brazil, appeared before Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday fighting his extradition to that country.
Junior Da Silva of Lot 23 Hadfield Street Georgetown is reportedly wanted for aggravated theft, which is equivalent to armed robbery in Guyana.
Da Silva’s attorney told the magistrate that he was aware that his client was wanted in Brazil. He said his client, a dual citizen with both Guyanese and Brazilian citizenship, was being compliant with the Brazilian authorities by appearing virtually for his hearings.
