Judge denies request to lift travel restrictions on indicted ‘cash jet’ pilot

Khemraj Lall

A judge has denied a request by Guyanese pilot Khamraj Lall to lift imposed travel restrictions to allow him to accompany his teenage son on a five-month long race car championship series in the United States, although he will be allowed to attend two race events in New Jersey, where he has been confined.

Lall, who is in plea negotiations with prosecutors after being indicted over US$620,000 found stashed onboard his plane in Puerto Rico late last year, had asked Judge Jay A. Garcia-Gregory to lift his travel restrictions to allow him to attend the F2000 Championship Series being held from March 30th to August 30th, 2015.

Lall’s 15-year-old son is participating in the series and prior to being charged the man had accompanied the boy to each event in which he had participated. But Lall, who is out on US$100,000 bail, is now currently confined to his New Jersey home except for travel to Puerto Rico for his court hearings.
