Cash jet pilot tried to fly under IRS’ radar, US gov’t says

Khemraj Lall

During a three-and-a-half year period, over 1,000 deposits totaling US$6.3 million were strategically placed into bank accounts controlled by indicted Guyanese pilot Khamraj Lall and his mother Joyce Lall in order to avoid detection of the movements of the funds, according to United States authorities.

Lall, who is now facing a trial for bulk cash smuggling in a Puerto Rican court after being found there with US$620,000 stashed onboard his plane last year, is also the subject of forfeiture action brought by the US government for a total of US$442,743 held in 14 accounts controlled by Lall, his wife Nadinee, his mother or connected businesses.

Lall, who was building a private hangar at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport when he was nabbed in Puerto Rico, owns and operates Exec Jet Club and Exec Jet Sales, with the latter between registered as a business in Florida. He also owns Kaylees Investments and Shannon Investments,
