A Guyanese man has been busted by the authorities in the United States for being part of a cocaine trafficking ring operating out of the JFK International Airport in New York.
Jermaine Horatio, who was charged last Thursday, was held after investigators monitored his communication with a co-operating witness. The ten-month-long investigation saw a bogus package of cocaine being placed in a suitcase in Guyana and transported on a flight to the US, where it was intercepted by investigators on arrival, suggesting that the US agents may have been collaborating with authorities in Guyana during the investigation. However, no collaboration is specifically mentioned in court documents seen by Stabroek News.
