Motorbike racer Stephen Vieira yesterday professed his innocence in an attempt to ship $550 million worth of cocaine in dressed lumber to the United States.
When his trial continued yesterday at the Leonora Magistrate’s Court, Vieira professed his innocence in an unsworn statement.
“I wish to state that I am innocent of this charge. I have no knowledge of any narcotics or drugs being placed in any wood. I have absolutely no knowledge of any plan between Hakeem Mohamed and Narine Lall exporting narcotics in lumber,” Vieira told the Leonora Magistrate’s Court, where he is on trial before Magistrate Rochelle Liverpool.
