The cocaine was from what prosecutors in 2019 called 'one of the largest drug seizures in United States history.'
, the charges stem from the three seizures of cocaine, most notably 19.8 tons from a cargo ship that was docked at Philadelphia’s Packer Avenue Marine Terminal in 2019 and on its way to the Netherlands.
At the time, Ivan Durasevic, the ship’s second mate, and Fonofaavae Tiasaga were arrested in the bust., prosecutors allege that Gogic and others used “meticulous planning” to transport cocaine to Europe from Colombia through U.S. ports, using commercial cargo ships. “Members of the conspiracy loaded the commercial cargo ships at night near the coast and ports, working with crew members who would hoist loads of cocaine from speedboats that approached the ships at multiple points along their route,” prosecutors wrote.said the defendants allegedly loaded the drugs using nets and the ship’s cranes. Once the cocaine was onboard, the crew would hide it within shipping containers.
From what it looks like, Gogic had help, because the suspect is accused of orchestrating the operation by coordinating with crew members, Colombian traffickers and European dockworkers.
