The Guyana Government will be ramping up efforts to go after assets obtained from criminal activities or through illegal means.

This was revealed by Attorney General (AG) and Legal Affairs Minister SC Anil Nandlall on Wednesday as he spoke about the successes local law enforcement agencies have had in going after the assets of criminals.

“In recent times, we have reaped tremendous successes through a collaboration between DPP (Director of Public Prosecutions), AG Chambers, SOCU (Special Organised Crime Unit), members of the Guyana Police Force (GPF), CANU (Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit) and the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA). You would read about how many accounts we have frozen recently; how many large quantities of gold and precious metals that we have detained, through court orders, using the legislation,” he posited.
