Police sources in Guyana have confirmed that the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) has been contacted to assist in locating former Guyana Power and Light Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Aeshwar Deonarine.
Deonarine is wanted for allegedly transferring some $27M from the Power Company to his bank account. He reportedly left the country sometime back and was charged in his absence. He was scheduled to appear in court earlier this week but was a no show when the matter was called.
He and Trade unionist Carvil Duncan were charged in relation to allegedly transferring monies from the company to their personal accounts.
Duncan appeared in and was placed on one million dollar bail.
In 2015, Duncan reportedly admitted to having close to $1M transferred from the company and said that he was not willing to pay same back. He noted that the sum represented payment for a period that he worked. According to reports, he did not consider the transfer as stealing.
Deonarine is said to be in Canada and has promised to repay the funds but asked for time to do so. Given his absence from Guyana, it is unclear how the matter will proceed.
