Guyana to seek extradition of Rickford Burke – Police Force

See below full statement issued by the Guyana Police Force:

The ruling of the Chief Justice in the legal challenge filed by Rickford Burke notwithstanding, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) maintains resolutely that it is in possession of cogent, compelling, and irrefutable evidence that Rickford Burke has engaged in the conduct of extorting money from a local businessman.

The matter is under review and the Police is awaiting further legal advice in relation to the institution of fresh charges.

Since Mr. Burke remains outside of the jurisdiction of Guyana, extradition proceedings will be pursued under the Fugitive Offenders Act in keeping with the ruling of the Chief Justice.
