Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed, Police Constable Remanded Until Nov 24

Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed and Police Constable Ryan Greene were on Friday remanded to prison until November 24 after Magistrate Abigail Gibbs refused bail during their appearance at the Sparendaam Magistrates’ Court in connection with the alleged unauthorised disclosure of police surveillance footage.

The prosecution successfully opposed bail, arguing that the alleged transfer of CCTV recordings from the Police Command Centre amounted to witness interference and could obstruct the administration of justice.

At the centre of the case is footage relating to an October 12 shooting incident outside the Kitty residence of Senior Superintendent Prem Narine, head of the Special Branch. Police allege that Greene, a 20-year-old constable attached to the Command Centre, accessed and downloaded the recordings before transferring them to Mohamed in exchange for GY$800,000.
