GUYANA - Commissioner of Police Henry Greene says now that drug trafficker Roger Khan has been sentenced in the United States, local police hope to get the evidence garnered from his case from the authorities in that country.
Last Friday Khan was sentenced to two 15-year and one ten-year prison terms, all of which would run concurrently, meaning he would serve a 15-year federal prison term for convictions for drug smuggling, witness tampering and gun possession.
Khan was a principal player in the drug trade, United States prosecutors said, and the key supplier of a Guyanese drug trafficking organisation based in Queens, New York.
The Queens organisation was said to have distributed hundreds of kilos of cocaine in a two-month period during the spring of 2003.
During his trial, it was stated that Khan had ordered the killing of several people in Guyana.
Greene said that local police had earlier communicated with the US embassy about access to evidence gathered in the US court, but had been told that they would have to wait until the trial had been completed.
Greene said he hoped that now the matter was completed, the evidence would be provided. (Stabroek News)
