The Bank of Guyana urged Azruddin Mohamed to drop lawsuits against banks that closed his party’s accounts due to U.S. sanctions over alleged gold smuggling and tax evasion.
The Bank of Guyana urged WIN party leader Azruddin Mohamed to drop legal actions against banks that closed accounts of his party’s members, citing U.S. sanctions on Mohamed as the reason for closures.
The central bank clarified that risk assessments are banks’ responsibility, not its own, and advised reevaluating those assessments instead of pursuing lawsuits.
The closures, linked to Mohamed’s 2024 OFAC sanctions over alleged gold smuggling and tax evasion, sparked backlash, with affected individuals including officials and GECOM workers.
Mohamed called the actions politically motivated, criticized banks for blanket "de-risking," and highlighted inconsistent account access, such as family members still holding accounts at Republic Bank.
The Guyana Revenue Authority is also challenging Mohamed’s claimed Lamborghini purchase price, seeking over $420 million in taxes and pressing criminal charges.
El Banco de Guyana instó a Azruddin Mohamed a abandonar las demandas contra los bancos que cerraron las cuentas de su partido debido a las sanciones de los Estados Unidos por presunto contrabando de oro y evasión de impuestos.
