MICHAEL “Rat” Maharaj, one of eight men released in 2024 after being convicted of the 1997 murder of Thackoor Boodram, brother of drug lord Dole Chadee, has been granted $450,000 bail by the High Court on extortion and robbery charges.

Maharaj’s attorney, Mark Seepersad, withdrew his client’s appeal during a hearing before Justices of Appeal Gillian Lucky, Mira Dean-Armorer and Carla Brown-Antoine on October 27.

Seepersad told the court that bail had been granted on October 24 and Maharaj accessed it the next day.
