One day after turning himself over to US Authorities at the JFK Airport, drug trafficking accused and Guyanese business owner Ghalee Khan appeared in Court to face the charges related to his 2008 arrest.

Khan pleaded not guilty to the drug trafficking conspiracy charges. He is facing five charges in relation to the alleged drug trafficking offense. The charges are related to the pick-up and drop off of several pounds of cocaine in the New York area.

He was first arrested and charged back in 2008 but left the United States while on bail and never returned until yesterday morning, 12 years later.
