Heeralall Sukdeo, the Guyanese man who has been charged in the United States with attempting to smuggle over 250 kilogrammes of cocaine in a shrimp shipment, was yesterday convicted in Brooklyn Federal Court.
A New York Daily News report said Sukdeo, 60, who is the owner of Sukdeo Sons Fishing, claimed he was duped by a relative who is also in the fish business and was made the scapegoat after the authorities found the drugs.
