Ghalee Khan drug sentence in US drastically cut

Ghalee Khan

Following an appeal, Guyanese businessman Ghalee Khan was late last month re-sentenced in the US to a term of just 18 months, almost two years after he was initially sentenced to nine years in prison for drug trafficking and bail jumping.

Judge Frederic Block on September 26th released Khan into the custody of US Court Marshals custody following the resentence as he would have already served more than the adjusted sentence as his original sentence was imposed in November of 2021. No supervised release was ordered.

It was in the same month he was sentenced that Khan through his lawyer appealed his sentence on a number of grounds.
