The 43-year-old Montenegrin was arrested as he tried to board an international flight from Miami, the Justice Department said.
The 43-year-old Montenegrin was arrested on Sunday night as he tried to board an international flight from Miami, the DOJ said in a news release. Gogic has been charged with one count of conspiracy to violate the Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act and three counts of violating the Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act, according to court documents. If convicted, he faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison, with an upper threshold of life in prison, the DOJ said.
law enforcement officers seized three shipments of cocaine. The largest of the three seizures happened at the Port of Philadelphia on June 19, 2019, when nearly 20 tons of cocaine were found hidden on board the MSC Gayane. It was “one of the largest seizures of cocaine in United States history” and worth over $1 billion, the DOJ said.
