ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, SC, on Monday, engaged senior representatives of several United States law-enforcement agencies as the government intensifies its security co-operation agenda and boosts institutional readiness to confront modern criminal threats.
The delegation included David Donaldson of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Mary Butler of the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and Jake Collins of the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL).
They were accompanied by Logan Council, Political Officer attached to the US Embassy in Georgetown.
During the high-level meeting, both sides examined opportunities to deepen operational collaboration and enhance interoperability between Guyanese authorities and their US counterparts.
The discussions centred on strengthening Guyana’s investigative and prosecutorial capacity, particularly in relation to organised crime, money laundering, and corruption.
According to the Attorney General, Guyana’s ongoing work to fortify its Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) framework remains a national priority, and expanded co-operation with US law-enforcement bodies will accelerate the country’s ability to detect, disrupt and dismantle complex criminal networks.
The agencies also explored possible avenues for technical assistance, training, intelligence sharing and broader institutional support.
Monday’s engagement signals the government’s continued push toward a more secure, transparent and accountable governance environment, aligned with global standards and strategic international partnerships.
