¶1.       During 2007, the Port of Spain Country Office (POSCO) 
initiated a Priority Target, CPOT linked investigation into the 
Bramhanand NANDALALL Drug Trafficking Organization (DTO).  The 
POSCO imitated this Priority Target, CPOT linked investigation with 
the Guyana Police Force (GPF) and the Guyana Customs Anti-Narcotics 
(CANU) and the POSCO has continued to work with the GPF and CANU 
throughout the course of this investigation. 
 
 
 
¶2.       During the course of this investigation, the POSCO, the 
GPF and CANU have developed several high level confidential sources 
(CS) and sources of information (SOI) who have direct ties to the 
Bramhanand NANDALALL DTO, who have been providing intelligence 
information regarding the Bramhanand NANDALALL DTO.  During 
numerous debriefing with several sources, the POSCO, the GPF and 
CANU have discovered that since the arrest of former Bramhanand 
NANDALALL DTO leader Shaheed "Roger" KHAN (NADDIS# 4516000), the 
Bramhanand NANDALALL DTO has divided into four major DTO's. 
 
 
 
¶3.        The four major DTO's are: The Clayton HUTSON DTO, which 
is currently lead by consolidated priority organization target 
(CPOT) Clayton HUTSON (NADDIS# 4539174), the Bramhanand NANDALALL 
DTO, which is currently lead by Ricardo "Fat man" RODRIGUES 
(NADDIS#6299946), the Paul DABY DTO, which is currently lead by 
Paul "Uncle Paul" DABY (NADDIS# 4631263) and the Salim AZEEZ DTO, 
which is currently lead by Salim AZEEZ (NADDIS# 5669946).  The 
POSCO, the GPF and CANU have also confirmed that these DTO's are 
Guyanese based DTO's that receive cocaine directly from Colombia 
via Venezuela.  These DTO's are responsible for shipping 
multi-kilogram quantities of cocaine to the US, Canada and Europe 
via commercial airlines and merchant vessels. 
 
 
 
¶4.       With the assistance of the GPF and CANU, the POSCO has not 
only been able to identify the four major DTO's operating in 
Guyana, South America, but the POSCO also has been able to identify 
the four DTO's organizational structure.  Over the past three 
years, the POSCO has coordinated the arrests of numerous DTO 
members and the seizure of multi-kilogram quantities of cocaine 
from the four DTO's. 
 
 
 
¶5.       The GPF and CANU have also been instrumental in conducting 
surveillance on members of the four major DTO's, specifically 
during the months of August/September 2009.  During the months of 
August/September 2009, the GPF and CANU assisted the POSCO in 
identifying and photographing several properties and businesses 
owned by HUTSON and members of the Clayton HUTSON DTO.  The GPF and 
CANU also assisted the POSCO in developing new SOI's who are former 
members of the Clayton HUTSON DTO.

¶6.       Also during the months of August/September 2009, the GPF 
and CANU assisted the POSCO and the Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement (ICE) with conducting surveillance on members of the 
Paul DABY DTO.   During the months of August/September 2009, 
members of the Paul DABY DTO approached an ICE's CS and indicated 
that they were looking for transportation for approximately 1000 
kilograms of cocaine from Georgetown, Guyana, South America to 
Norfolk, Virginia. 
 
 
 
¶7.       The POSCO, the GPF and CANU are aware of that these four 
major DTO's are sending kilogram quantities of cocaine throughout 
the Caribbean and based on the extensive amount of work the GPF and 
CANU have done on this PTO, CPOT linked investigation, the POSCO 
believed that it would be beneficial to the US, Guyana, the GPF, 
CANU, members of the 16 th Annual Pre-IDEC and participants in the 
PRE-IDEC Caribbean Working Group C to discuss the four major DTO's 
as well as other Narcotics Traffickers operating throughout the 
Caribbean Region. 
 
 
 
 
 
Action Request: 
 
 
 
 
 
¶1.       The POSCO has selected Seelal Persaud of the Guyana Police 
Force (GPF) and James Singh of the Guyana Customs Anti-Narcotics 
Unit (CANU) to attend the 16 th Annual PRE-IDEC/Drug Commander's 
Conference and participate in the PRE-IDEC Caribbean Working Group 
C to discuss the four major DTO's as well as other Narcotics 
Traffickers operating throughout the Caribbean. 
 
 
 
¶2.       The POSCO has identified that the coast of Hotel/Per Diem 
for the five days for Persaud and Singh would coast approximately: 
$3,242.00.  the POSCO is requesting funding assistance from the 
Office of Global Enforcement (OGL) through the utilization of PTO 
Funding to assist the POSCO in paying the Hotel/Per Diem for 
Persaud and Singh.
