Sunday Stabroek was reliably informed that Persaud returned here on October 9th, 2020.
A source told this newspaper that since his return, Persaud has been asked to keep a low profile until he settles in.
After Persaud, then an APNU+AFC parliamentarian, voted in favour of the then opposition-sponsored motion against the former government, he was subjected to attacks on his character by both his former APNU+AFC colleagues and their supporters.
While Persaud said he voted according to his conscience, last year January then Commissioner of Police Leslie James had announced that he was the subject of an investigation stemming from a report of bribery and possible plans to move gold out of the country.
Months after, then Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan had said that the investigation into Persaud would only continue once “other witnesses” come forward. This disclosure was made months after Ramjattan had said that the investigation was stalled and there is no “solid” evidence to have Persaud extradited.

He’s feeling empowered now that the PPP is the government. Judas to the bone, but no big surprise. What miss you ain’t pass you mister!!!
Alleged bribery is easily revealed, if you really want to do know, by following the money trails….. I am not sure whether the new government has a genuine interest in following up this story.

It’s difficult to follow the money trails when the bribes are paid in GOLD!!!
Correct, but gold is illiquid and you have to turn it into money, if you want to spend it.
I think that can be easily done on the black market….no?
But then the large amounts of money wouldl end up on his bank account, right? Or you think he’ll stash it under the mattress of his mother-in-law? 🙂
Not in Guyana. People deal in cash all the time and not all of their monies are put into the Bank. You can be right……stashed away but I don’t think the mattress is being used these days. They find ways to launder it.
Like Freddie Kissoon, Charandass did a deal with the PPP. Do not forgive him.
