Guyana: SOCU Chief Denies Detention Reports in the US

Deputy Police Commissioner Fazil Karimbaksh, who serves as the head of the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) of the Guyana Police Force (GPF), has publicly denied reports suggesting that he was detained in the United States. The statement comes in response to circulating rumors regarding his status while traveling abroad.

Karimbaksh emphasized that he is currently not facing any legal issues in the U.S. and is not under any form of detention. The SOCU, which is tasked with investigating serious crimes, particularly those related to organized crime and corruption, has been in the spotlight due to its high-profile cases.

The unit has been involved in various investigations aimed at tackling financial crimes and other serious offenses within Guyana. Karimbaksh’s denial aims to clarify the situation and address any concerns regarding his role and responsibilities within the GPF.

The Deputy Police Commissioner has assured the public that he remains committed to his duties and the ongoing efforts of the SOCU in maintaining law and order in Guyana. Further updates regarding his activities and the work of the unit are expected as investigations continue.
