Two men found guilty of £36m drug smuggling attempt
12:51pm Tuesday 2nd June 2009 in
TWO men have been found guilty of attempting to smuggle £36m of drugs into Southampton Docks.
Serbian nationals Dusan Mileusnic, 49, and Negovan Jovanovic, 58, were convicted by a jury on a ten to two majority verdict this afternoon at Winchester Crown Court.
The convictions follow the clearing of Ukrainians Yaroslav Ksenzovets, 35, and Sergiy Khodos, 26, earlier today by the jury.
Four men have already been found guilty of the same offence after customs officers found 12.5 tonnes of cannabis resin when they searched the Abbira tug in April last year.
Israeli nationals Moshe Kedar, 81, and Mordechai Hersh, 67, and Serbian nationals Goran Otovic, 54, and Dragon Stankovic, 54, were convicted on Friday at Winchester Crown Court.
The six men are due to be sentenced this Thursday.

They are and will continue to import deadly drugs into the UK. If they have suited labor to hire and dollops that are too lardy, stoopid and non existant to be a concern I guess they chuckle to themselves 'Bring it on!' Sail to Southampton!

Just lovely to have open borders, free trade and welcome our lovely Eastern European brothers and sisters over to be part of our culture and carry on with their traditional customs.

When you have a Government, and I do use the word Government loosely, that cares more for foreign scum than it's own people,has done away with our borders,has destroyed what little was left of a justice system that has been brought to it's knees by the stupid Human Rights laws,then I fear we must expect more rabble **** like this walking into our country and doing exactly this, they should have been given at least fifty years each,**** it forgot,Human Rights.
