BUSINESSMAN Michael Andrew Morgan was on Tuesday found guilty of trafficking a large quantity of cocaine which was found during a raid at his Eccles, East Bank Demerara house, last year.

Morgan, who, according to reports, was on the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) radar for some time, was found guilty of the crime by Magistrate Sunil Scarce at the Diamond Magistrate’s Court.

He was further remanded until July 14, 2023, as he awaits sentencing.

Morgan made his first court appearance on June 29, 2022, and pleaded not guilty to possession of $3.5M worth of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.

In addition to the drugs, CANU ranks reportedly found 27 9mm rounds, one.32 Taurus firearm along with one magazine and 25 matching .32 rounds in the house.

According to reports, the accused is the brother of Peter Morgan, who had pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges in the United States back in 2010.

Peter was released in 2015 after serving his sentence and was later deported to Guyana.
