Charges are likely to be laid soon against three persons who were held over the weekend in connection with the huge cocaine bust made in Jamaica last month on board a ship that left Guyana.
Sources yesterday told Stabroek News that investigators from the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) were looking for more details from the men, who were found in possession of the shipping documents and a fake Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) seal. CANU and GRA are conducting a separate investigation into the fake seal.
This newspaper was reliably informed that the investigators do not believe that the men are the masterminds behind the smuggling of the cocaine, which is said to have a street value of $700 million. According to a source, it is hoped that the three would give the investigators the information needed to arrest the person
