Proceedings in the extradition case involving Azruddin and Nazar Mohamed continued this afternoon before Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrates\u2019 Court, with the hearing focusing on documentary evidence linked to the movement and receipt of key extradition documents at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the session, the court examined records relating to the handling of extradition correspondence as the defence sought to challenge whether the documents were properly received by the Ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prosecutor Glenn Hanoman told NCN News that a significant portion of the day\u2019s proceedings was spent addressing alleged breaches of the defendants\u2019 reporting conditions, as well as processing documentary evidence requested by the defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lot of time was taken up discussing the breach of the reporting conditions and some more time was taken up today because some books were requested and the mechanics of photocopying and tendering those pages, and I think a lot of evidence taking was lost today because of those two events,\u201d Hanoman explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier in the day, the prosecution requested that visitors\u2019 logbooks from the Permanent Secretary\u2019s office at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs be produced in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The records, including logs maintained by security personnel and the receptionist, were examined as part of the defence\u2019s cross-examination to verify the timeline of a courier who reportedly delivered extradition packages on two separate occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the review, specific pages from two logbooks were tendered into evidence. These were labelled \u201cMinistry of Foreign Affairs \u2013 International Cooperation Correspondence\u201d and \u201cOffice of the Permanent Secretary Secretariat \u2013 Incoming Correspondence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Hanoman, the defence is suggesting that the extradition documents were never received by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, the prosecution maintains that the documents presently before the court contradict that claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBundles of extradition documents came according to the evidence on two different dates, the 13th of October 2025 and the 26th November in relation to this same extradition. I think today the theory of the defence is that they were suggesting that those documents were never received by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is a strange position to adopt because those very documents are present in court,\u201d Hanoman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the court also addressed alleged breaches of the defendants\u2019 reporting conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman has since revised the reporting requirements for the father-and-son duo, US-sanctioned businessmen Azruddin and Nazar Mohamed. The magistrate ordered that they report every Friday within a 24-hour window between midnight and 11:59 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n
