The Guyana Police Force (GPF) says it will appeal a ruling by Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore that dismisses two cybercrime charges against Bryan McIntosh, who is also known as “Bryan Max.” The dismissal was delivered on July 9, 2026, according to the GPF, and it concerns charges brought under Guyana’s Cybercrime Act No. 16 of 2018. In the sources, the GPF states it will challenge the magistrate’s decision and maintains that its evidence is sufficient to establish a prima facie case.
Guyana Chronicle and INews Guyana both report that the charges were dismissed at the magistrate level, with the underlying case having been initiated after the charge date referenced by INews Guyana (November 23, 2023). Both outlets attribute the appeal intention directly to a police statement/press release, and both identify the same respondent, magistrate, and legal basis for the charges. The outlets do not detail the magistrate’s reasoning for dismissal or specify a court date for the appeal.
