Chinese national wanted for questioning in money laundering, related offences 

Zhenjian Fang, a 44-year-old Chinese national, is wanted for questioning by the Guyana Police Force in relation to money laundering and other related serious offences.

A wanted bulletin was issued on Monday.

It was noted that Fang’s last known address is New Road, Vreed-en-Hoop, West Coast Demerara.

Anyone with information on the whereabout of Fang is asked to contact the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) on 225-3079, 225, 3084 or the nearest Police Station.

The wanted bulletin issued comes after Police Headquarters said three Chinese nationals- two males and one female- were arrested during an inter-agency intelligence operation at a city hotel that resulted in the seizure of $39 million.

Police Headquarters reported that an unlicensed 9mm pistol with 15 matching rounds of ammunition were also seized and said a criminal network was essentially dismantled.

Police reported that investigations have so far revealed that the suspects are part of a transnational criminal group involved in gold smuggling and other illegal activities. They are currently in police custody, assisting with the investigation.
