US State Department Publishes 2008 INCSR - March 01, 2008
The United States State Department published its 2008 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report and Guyana does not fare well.

Excerpts:

  • Domestic seizures of cocaine were three times higher than the previous year due to improved counternarcotics measures at the working level, although all but one of these seizures were minor in scale
  • Murders, kidnappings, and other violent crimes commonly believed to be linked with narcotics trafficking are regularly reported in the Guyanese media.
  • Money laundering is perceived as a serious problem, and has been linked to trafficking in drugs, firearms, and persons, as well as to corruption and fraud. The Government of Guyana (GOG) made no arrests or prosecutions for money laundering in 2007
  • Guyana’s FIU (Financial Intelligence Unit) is one of the few in the region that is not a member of the Egmont Group, and no change in that status is anticipated until Guyana’s anti-money laundering laws have been modernized and the financing of terrorism is criminalized.
  • Guyana does not have a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) with the United States.
