Feds charge prominent Guyanese for money laundering

November 6, 2015 | By | Filed Under News 

A prominent Guyanese businessman has been charged by the US Feds for money laundering. The businessman, Haresh Narine ‘Chinee’ Sugrim, who imports heavy duty mining and other equipment, was detained at the JFK Airport on Tuesday and read money laundering charges the following day. The businessman, who has operations and properties in Berbice and Demerara, is reportedly being accused of laundering US$500,000. He was placed on US$1M bail following his appearance in the New York court. According to reports, Sugrim travelled to Florida on Monday on business. On Tuesday, he took a flight to New York. It was while he was in the parking lot, outside of JFK Airport, that he was approached by officers from Nassau County. He was later handed over to the agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). Relatives of the well-known Government supplier of equipment parts, including excavators and road-making machines, said that the matter is all a misunderstanding that would be cleared up. They said that a few months ago, Sugrim and a close friend in New York decided to buy a property there. Monies taken from Guyana, in cash and cheques and declared at the airports, were deposited in  the bank account of the friend in New York. However, the FBI was alerted to the cash deposits, which amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars and pulled the friend in for questioning. The feds wanted to know the origins of the monies. The friend reportedly said the monies belonged to the businessman. According to relatives, Sugrim is a well-known businessman who has holdings in Guyana and can substantiate where the money came from. It is expected that Sugrim’s lawyers will now move to produce evidence to support Sugrim’s arguments that the monies came from legitimate transactions

Look, my 26 year old son has a licence to carry a concealed weapon in the United States.  I told him, if ever he use it in an illegal way then he wil have to be a man and face the music.  He was trained to use it for personal protection but I told him he does not need it in the good old USA.

 

But he is all into this right to bear arms crap.

 

But he knows he misuse it he do the time.

 

People have choices.

 

Use the bank Chinee or use a salt bag.

Takes the US to shed light on him and not our GRA. This man is part of the mall building rags to riches story in Guyana. It is not hard to substantiate that earning for him. He has lots of business ventures.

If you really know Chinee,you will know he will have problems verifying the source of the money. He does that and they will move down the chain which. Chinee might not really want to have happen. Yes, Mitts, the house inhabited by his son was invaded and shot Up. The story making the rounds at that time was that Chinee owed some serious guys some money for "white lady" they supplied.

He is saying that he can prove the source. However, the Americans are wise to him and know his sordid background. They will digbif they do not have the necessary info as yet. Maybe, both of them will spend some time together.

Everyone is wise to him except the PPP government and Satteur. That bitch should be gone a long time. he has enough legal business to cover his tracks. I do not think the US will probe the origin of his wealth but the source of the loot he had on him. They probably know everything about him but they still have to build a case. They Guyanese admin has to help.

I agree, why is he conducting legit business in cash?  I won't say jail him, but it needs investigating.  Dont they know large cash transactions draw attention of authorities?
