Roger Khan is one of the most popular and richest Drug Lord who was born on January 13, 1972 in Guyana. Shaheed “Roger”, a Guyanese criminal, was born 13 January 1972 and was involved in drug trafficking, money laundering, and arms smuggling. He used construction and forest businesses to traffic cocaine from Colombia to the United States. Khan was Guyana’s most powerful drug lord. WikiLeaks has published cables from the US that compare Khan’s control of Guyana to Pablo Escobar’s former control over Colombia.
The cables also report that Khan and Bouterse (current president of Suriname) met several times in 2006 at Nickerie to discuss cocaine trafficking, plot to kill then Suriname’s minister of Justice Chan Santokhi, and Suriname’s attorney general Subhaas Puwasi.
There have been repeated claims that Khan had close ties with the Guyanese government. In 2006, after police issued an arrest warrant for him, Khan had publicly said in an advertisement that he was fighting criminals on behalf of the government.
Khan’s lawyer in his case was Robert Simels. Simels is former lawyer of convicted drug trafficker Kenneth McGriff and American mobster Henry Hill, who received international fame because of the 1990 American crime movie Goodfellas which portrays his rise and fall. On 4 December 2009, Khan’s lawyer was sentenced to 14 years in prison for, after consulting with Khan in jail, instructing a hit-man to kill the star witness in Khan’s case. However, the hit-man turned out to be a government informant who secretly recorded the conversations with Simels. Simels and Khan were also convicted of possessing illegal eavesdropping equipment, which was seized in a raid on Simels’ East Side offices.
According to cables from the US Embassy, Khan was linked with FARC. Khan traded the arms he had smuggled into Guyana via Suriname, French Guiana and possibly France for cocaine. The cables show that Khan was involved in the massive shipment of weapons to FARC Colombia in December 2005.

Khan was arrested in Burlington in Vermont in 1993 for possessing and receiving firearms. He was also a convicted felon. Khan was to be tried for illegally possessing firearms and ammunition, but he fled Guyana while he was being held on bail. Khan was sentenced to prison in January 2007 for possessing illegal firearms and ammunition. Judge Dora Irizarry denied Khan bail.
Khan is believed to be the leader of the lethal and notorious “Phantom Squad”, which the Caribbean Guyana Institute for Democracy describes as a murderous killing engine and which, according to the US Federal Courts, has already killed more than 200 Guyana citizens during the Guyana crime wave between 2002 and 2006.
On 15 June 2006 Khan was arrested in Paramaribo with three of his bodyguards in a sting operation that Surinamese police said netted more than 200 kilograms of cocaine – the biggest cocaine haul in Suriname of that year. Instead of being deported to Guyana then minister of Justice of Suriname Chan Santokhi ordered that Khan would be flown to Trinidad. This decision received a lot of protest from president Dési Bouterse’s party, which then formed the biggest opposition party in the parliament of Suriname. Upon the arrival at the airport of Trinidad Khan was handed over to immigration authorities who then handed him over to US officials. Less than 24 hours after being expelled from Suriname, Khan was arraigned at the Brooklyn Federal Court in New York City on 30 June 2006 on a charge of “conspiring to import cocaine” and was ordered to be detained at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn.
