Chinese Embassy threatens to sue KN

The Chinese Embassy in Guyana has rubbished an article in the Kaieteur News on Thursday under the caption “Chinese Embassy container imports attract GRA’s attention”, saying the story is baseless and unsubstantiated.“The Chinese Embassy will further investigate this matter and hereby reserves the right to take legal actions,” the embassy said in a terse statement on Thursday.
In its article, KN said that tax authorities have started a probe into an alleged racket in which the Chinese Embassy was used to bring in containers of goods for its nationals who are operating businesses here.
The newspaper said the matter was reportedly raised by the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently.
Quoting well-placed sources, the newspaper said Government officials and the GRA late last year stumbled on what seemed like “an abnormally large number of containers brought in by the Chinese Embassy.”
