The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) dismisses an appeal by Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed and his father, businessman Nazar Mohamed, clearing the way for extradition proceedings to resume in Georgetown Magistrates’ Court. The CCJ ruling comes after the duo sought to stop the extradition process that is initiated at the request of the United States. The sources report that the appeal challenges the legality of the extradition steps taken against them. With the CCJ dismissal, the case returns to the local court to continue the formal extradition process. The sources also state that the United States has indicted the Mohameds, which is the basis for the extradition request. While the outlets provide limited additional detail on the underlying allegations, they agree on the procedural outcome: the CCJ denies the bid to halt extradition, and magistrates’ court proceedings proceed as scheduled. The CCJ judgment is delivered on Wednesday, and the dispute centers on whether the extradition process can lawfully move forward following the defendants’ challenge.
