Cuban National, Yuri Garcia Dominquez is under investigation by Guyanese authorities for allegedly formulating a ponzi scheme and duping citizens millions of dollars.
Dominquez is a naturalized citizen of Guyana. Prior to this being granted, a picture of his face and relevant particulars are published in the national dailies for objections.
The Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, during a press conference last week, said that the then Citizenship Minister, Winston Felix was apprised of the conduct of Dominquez but did not respond to the warnings.
Felix, today, said that the information being peddled by Nandlall is false.
“Following misinformation peddled by the Hon. Attorney General in a current investigation of a Ponzi scheme allegedly involving Yuri Garcia Dominquez, I seek to correct the impression created that as Minister of Citizenship, I was appraised of the conduct the abovenamed person and I Naturalised him,” he said.
Meanwhile, an online petition is being circulated to allow the business to remain in Guyana.
Nandlall is of the belief that the business has breached financial protocols in Guyana, and is therefore illegal.
He promised subscribers that the government is working to retrieve their monies.
