Guyanese businessman removed from Interpol’s most wanted list
Guyanese businessman, 41-year-old Oudit Narain Seenarain’s name had appeared on the International Police (Interpol)’s most wanted list a few months ago.

His name and photograph, along with those of other persons of Guyanese nationality, were published in the both the print and social media.
Seenarain in an interview with Kaieteur News yesterday, said that his name was removed from the list.
How it appeared there in the first place, he explained, stemmed from allegations that were made by an individual who had accused him of kidnapping and assaulting another.
The alleged victim was taken into questioning and provided statements to the law enforcement officials in the US. That individual was later charged with providing false statements.
Seenarain said that after he had got wind that he was a part of Interpol’s most-wanted list, he immediately assembled a team of foreign attorneys and contested the accusations made by Interpol.
Legal documents were submitted to the agency dated July 18, 2016 and a reply was obtained from Interpol by letter on August 1, 2016.
Seenarain was informed by Interpol that his request was admissible and that it was being processed.
Interpol on September 12, 2016, informed the businessman that he had been removed from the list.
“The commission consulted the National Central Bureau (NCB) of the United States. This NCB authorised the commission to inform you that there is no longer any information in Interpol’s database emanating from the United States concerning you,” Interpol in its correspondence stated.
Expressing relief yesterday, Seenarain said that he can move freely without looking over his shoulder. He spoke about his friends distancing themselves from him and the massive decline in business that his company, EMaster Corporation, had endured.
Kaieteur News yesterday checked the Interpol’s most wanted list and found that Seenarain name was indeed taken off.
However, additional checks to other site showed that he is still on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearm (ATF) and Explosives Most Wanted list.
The AFT stated that, “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.”
Seenarain is also wanted by the Sheriff’s Office in Henry County, Georgia for a series of other offences.
The businessman said that he is unaware of that list and suggested that the information might have been gotten from Interpol’s database.
Seenarain said that he will have to make additional moves to address this matter.
