RINGWOOD — A Ringwood man is facing life in prison after federal officials charged him with importing large quantities of cocaine from South America to New Jersey on his privately-owned jets.

Khamraj Lall, 50, was charged in federal court in Newark on Friday with importing at least 5 kilograms of cocaine from his native home of Guyana on private planes between April 2011 and November 2014, acting U.S. Attorney William E. Fitzpatrick said.

Lall is also accused of laundering the proceeds in banks in New Jersey and New York, smuggling hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash back to Guyana, and skirting financial transaction regulations to avoid detection, according to a statement from the attorney’s office.

“Lall performed, or had others perform, over 1,287 cash deposits totaling approximately $7,549,775 into more than 20 different bank accounts,” according to the statement.

Federal prosecutors allege Lall of Coventry Way imported the drugs under the cover of Exec Jet Club, a private jet club incorporated by Lall in 2011. The company operated out of airports in Guyana and Florida until Lall’s arrest November 2014 when customs officials in Puerto Rico discovered $620,000 in cash hidden in a plane co-piloted by Lall, as first reported by inewsguyana.com.

 

Lall, described on the club website as a Guyanese businessman and aircraft pilot who had been flying since 1994, was out on bail when he was arrested in July 2015 and initially charged for his role in an alleged cocaine trafficking scheme, records show. That arrest stemmed from a federal probe that resulted in the arrest of nine other men, eight from Rochester, New York, in February 2015.

Lull has been in federal custody since his arrest. In March 2016, he was sentenced to a year in jail for smuggling money and ordered to forfeit the cash and other assets.

The charges announced last week call for a minimum of 10 years in prison and a maximum sentence of life in prison with a $10 million fine. The other charges announced last week could give Lall a combined 25 years in jail.

The indictment, dated Aug. 28, seeks the forfeiture of Lall’s Coventry Way home as well as properties in Citra and Kissimmee in Florida and Hamptonburgh, New York, court records show. Two jets, a Citation II and a Westwind I, a Lexus SUV, assets and rights owned by Exec Jet Club, and more than $442,000 in cash are also subject to seizure, records show.

From 1995 to 2010, Lall owned and operated a trucking and warehouse company in Jersey City. On the Exec Jet Club website, Lall is also referred to as a 15-year freelance flight instructor at Ringwood Airport, which does not exist. Tim Wagner, manager of the nearby Greenwood Lake Airport, said he had never heard of Lall.

According to law enforcement officials, street value for a kilogram of cocaine, which is slightly over 2 pounds, varies greatly based on location and quality, but can run between $27,000 to $38,000.

So far he has not implicated Jagdeo or Ramoutar. This is what we were told by the pnc supporters, that Jags and Ramu were involved in drug running. 

Do you think they're innocent of Drug dealing? How can you be so nieve, Bhai? You put more faith in politicians than God.

Khemraj Lall must be innocent as well since he is supposedly Indian. His intention is to sell poison to kids. What would he do if his children start doing drugs?

If you know that ramu and jags were involved in the drug trade you should tell the fbi and cia. Maybe you can become state witness and get a reward.

I am not a rat or involved in ratish business. It's just that I can't sin my soul and say that politicians are innocent, including the PPP.

I am not saying they are innocent either, however it is a universal concept, innocent until proven guilty. After 2 years of rabid forensic audits and investigations, not 1 ppp jailed by the PNC. What does that mean, that the PPP is guilty of drug running by default?

I see you are speaking with a low voice. Is that because of your IQ?

Mars, is this proof that Ramoutar is a drug dealer? Then you should share this with the PNC and US govt, they will surely jail him and give you a hefty reward. 

Did I say that Ramotar is a drug dealer?

The PPP government facilitated Lall by giving him a special hangar at the airport that was used to smuggle drugs and cash. These facilities were not monitored by Customs or CANU and Lall was able to conduct his nefarious activities with the blessings of the PPP.

I am not Mars, but that's not proof that someone is a drug dealer, because Joe Harmon was also seen withChinese counterparts, posing in private jet. Politicians are not directly involved in drug running, they have middle men to do the dirty work.

So you are saying that the PPP knew that Lall was a drug dealer and they still facilitated the building of the hangar? How do you know that the PPP got personally involved in giving him the permit? Isn't there a process in place for granting licence to airline operators where govt officials don't directly get involved.

Read what I said. Don't put words in my mouth. The PPP facilitated Lall and his hangar was not monitored by Customs and CANU. Those are the facts. 

Don't be naive to think that anybody can just set up major facilities such as Lall had without getting the government's approval and greasing the right palms. How in heaven's name can he be flying back and forth without having to be processed by Customs or to be checked by CANU? He obviously had a special arrangement. You can find all the excuses in the world to make it right but it's not.

Licences for airline operators are granted through a government agency so how can government officials not be involved?

So now you are speculating, or maybe you are Sherlock Homes, you derived that the PPP were involved in drug smuggling based on a hypothesis. Maybe you should join Saru, you would do a better job than Clive Thomas who has zero to show after collecting millions of dollars over the past two years.

You gave no facts, only conjecture, obvious this, PPP facilitated that, greasing,  naive this and so forth. Now if you know the facts you should immediately reach out to the Saru so they can bring the Ramoutar and Jagdeo to justice.

Seeing that you always find some stupid excuses for PPP corruption, why would it be any different now?

Now you turn to personal attack on me to justify why you think Ramo and Jags are guilty of drug running? I don't have anything to do with whatever illegal activities you have evidence that they did in Guyana. What is evident thought is that although this evidence is clear to you, you, Saru and Granger are not on the same page as you have yet to jail the PPP as you promised while in opposition.

I'm simply describing the way you behave on this forum with your penchant for telling petty lies. I never said that Ramotar and Jagdeo are guilty of running drugs. I don't remember them being indicted for drug running. I said that the PPP Government facilitated Lall by allowing him to fly his plane back and forth, even on international trips, without being inspected. If you don't see anything wrong with that, then there's definitely something wrong with you. No wonder the man ended up moving large quantities of cocaine and money. He was given free rein to do so by the PPP Government. 

As an aside, I was never in the Opposition or the Government. I don't belong to any political party in Guyana and I'm merely a commentator on this forum. I don't remember promising to jail anyone either as I was never in the law enforcement business.
