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.
