The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) has granted a stay of extradition proceedings against sanctioned businessmen Azruddin Mohamed and his father, Nazar “Shell” Mohamed, bringing a temporary halt to the high-profile legal matter. The ruling, handed down on Wednesday, represents a significant legal victory for the defense teams representing both men. The decision effectively pauses local court proceedings while the matter remains under consideration at the regional appellate body. The stay was granted following applications filed by the Mohameds’ attorneys, who had sought relief from the ongoing extradition process. Both Azruddin and Nazar Mohamed have been the subject of international sanctions, drawing considerable public and legal scrutiny to their case. The CCJ’s intervention signals that the court sees merit in examining the matter further before allowing extradition proceedings to continue. No timeline has been indicated for how long the stay will remain in effect, and the case is expected to draw continued attention from legal observers across the Caribbean region.
