Shyam Guptar

Shyam Guptar, also known as 'Black Shammy', is a former Surinamese rice magnate and notorious figure in drug trafficking. He gained prominence in the 1990s due to his alleged involvement in large-scale cocaine trade between Suriname and the Netherlands, which led to a series of legal battles and investigations. Despite being acquitted of various charges, Guptar's name has remained synonymous with drug-related crimes, particularly after the authorities intercepted a shipment of his rice vessel containing a significant amount of cocaine. His legacy of criminality appears to have extended to his son, Vitesh Guptar, who has also faced serious allegations of drug trafficking.
