Shooting outside extradition witness’ home: US-sanctioned LOO arrested over alleged $800,000 bribe to cop for footage

United States-sanctioned and indicted Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed was arrested at Eccles, East Bank Demerara, on Wednesday for questioning over an alleged $800,000 payment to a Police Constable for surveillance footage from the Safe Country System.

The arrest is linked to an investigation into an alleged corrupt transaction involving a 20-year-old Policeman, who is accused of downloading and handing over footage connected to the October 12 shooting outside the home of Senior Superintendent Prem Narine in Kitty, Georgetown.

The Constable and his mother were also in Police custody on Wednesday as investigators continued probing the alleged payment and the leaking of the footage.
