Feb 20, 2019 News

Crime Chief Lyndon Alves says the Guyana Police Force has received no information to suggest that businessman, Oudit Narain Seenarain, is wanted for any crime in the United States.
“He was charged and he is on bail. There is nothing in our system to say that he is wanted,” Alves told Kaieteur News.
“Certainly the US would have made a request for him (to be arrested). There is no request.”
The US Department of Justice Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives website has listed Seenarain as being wanted for Rape, Failure to appear, and firearms violations.

A police official indicated that this information was circulating since around 2007.
Seenarine was arrested about a week ago after police allegedly found an illegal firearm and ammunition at his home. He reportedly resides at Le Ressouvenir, East Coast Demerara.
He was charged and released on bail for the offence.
The US Department of Justice Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives website also stated that Seenaraine was wanted by the Sheriff’s Office in Henry County, Georgia for Strong Arm Rape, Kidnapping and Sodomy.
According to a US Department of Justice report, on or about June 2005, Seenarain was arrested for federal firearms trafficking.
Seenarain failed to appear for his court hearing and the Northern District of Georgia Magistrate Judge issued another arrest warrant for him.
In a March 2017 interview with Kaieteur News, Seenarain claimed that his name was removed from an INTERPOL list of wanted persons.
He alleged that his name was placed on the list after an individual accused him of kidnapping and assaulting another.
He stated that the alleged victim was taken into questioning and provided statements.
