In this gripping episode of Caribbean Tea, we dive deep into what may be the most consequential extradition case in modern Caribbean history — the U.S. request for Nazar and Azruddin Mohamed of Guyana.

Why is this case more significant than the infamous extradition battles involving Christopher “Dudus” Coke, Jack Warner, and even the global Odebrecht corruption scandal?
Because this extradition sits at the explosive intersection of sovereignty, oil wealth, U.S. jurisdiction, and political power.

Attorney Vivian M. Williams, Esq. breaks down:

  • Why the Mohamed extradition may be the extradition of the decade — if not the century.

  • How Guyana processed the request at unprecedented speed, triggering accusations of treaty violations.

  • Why the withdrawal of major tax-evasion charges after Caribbean Tea exposed treaty conflicts raises serious questions.

  • How this case tests the boundaries of U.S. extraterritorial power in a newly wealthy petroleum state.

  • Whether Guyana is acting as a neutral treaty partner — or a political aggressor.

  • What dangerous precedents this sets for the region’s democracies.

We compare the Mohamed case to three of the region’s biggest extradition sagas:

  • Dudus Coke: A political and social earthquake, but legally straightforward.

  • Jack Warner: A decade-long battle ended by a missing treaty instrument.

  • Odebrecht: Massive U.S. wire involvement — yet Brazil asserted sovereign priority.

In contrast, the Mohamed extradition touches the heart of Guyana’s economic sovereignty, raises profound questions about political interference, and exposes the fragility of legal institutions in an oil-rich, rapidly transforming nation.

This is the story of power, process, geopolitics, and jurisdiction in the Caribbean’s newest petroleum giant — and why the outcome will shape the region for years to come.

Grab your tea. It’s time.
