Guyana VP Jagdeo wins defamation suit; court finds statements true

Guyana's High Court dismissed a defamation claim by former Auditor General Anand Goolsarran against Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo, ruling the contested statements were substantially true and awarding costs of $250,000. The judgment affirms Jagdeo's defense and resolves a legal dispute between senior political figures. The ruling may have political implications but is not market-moving.
